Granted
Service connection for Other Specified Trauma and Stressor Related Disorder is granted based on military sexual trauma (MST) experienced during service.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved any remaining doubt in the Veteran's favor due to a medical opinion endorsing a causal relationship between the diagnosis and conceded MST in service.
