Granted
The Board granted service connection for generalized anxiety disorder, finding that the evidence is in at least approximate balance as to whether the Veteran began experiencing anxiety-related psychiatric symptoms during his active-duty service and that there is a medical nexus between the Veteran's current psychiatric disability and his in-service psychiatric symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence was in at least approximate balance that the Veteran's psychiatric disability is related to his in-service psychiatric symptomology, giving the benefit of the doubt to the Veteran.
