Granted
The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disability, diagnosed as a nightmare disorder, based on new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted due to the Veteran's report of visiting a concentration camp during his active duty military service, which was corroborated by a fellow serviceman and linked to the Veteran's current nightmare disorder by a VA examiner.
