Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on a favorable finding by the AOJ that the Veteran's current diagnosis is etiologically related to active service.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examiner's opinion, which noted chronic symptoms and in-service physical assault, supported the conclusion that the Veteran's psychiatric condition is causally related to active service.
