Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD and unspecified depressive disorder, based on a finding that these conditions are related to his active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran has a current disability related to his active-duty service, with evidence supporting in-service incurrence or aggravation of a disease or injury and a causal relationship between the current disability and the in-service events.
