Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, is granted. The claim for OSA as secondary to service-connected disabilities is remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is at least as likely as not related to active service and military sexual trauma (MST).
