Granted
The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on the Veteran's reported in-service stressor and a diagnosis of PTSD by a VA psychiatrist.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's claimed stressor was related to 'fear of hostile military or terrorist activity' and consistent with his service, and that a VA psychiatrist diagnosed him with chronic PTSD due to his experiences in Iraq.
