Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, as the evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's claimed in-service stressor and his current psychiatric condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported stressor was found to be internally inconsistent and unsupported by corroborating evidence, leading to the conclusion that his statements were not credible.
