Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for major depressive disorder, moderate, recurrent, with anxious distress but denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively favored the conclusion that the Veteran's major depressive disorder was at least as likely as not incurred in or otherwise related to her active military service. However, there was no credible evidence supporting a diagnosis of PTSD.
