Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder, including other specified trauma-related disorder and major depressive disorder, is granted. The decision is based on evidence showing the onset of these conditions during active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's statements regarding the onset and progression of his symptoms were credible, and the VA examiner's opinion was adequate and entitled to significant probative weight.
