Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD and/or other specified trauma and stressor related disorder is granted. The diagnosis of PTSD is valid and based on fear of hostile military or terrorist activity.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence for and against the claim was at least evenly balanced, and resolved any remaining reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
