Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder other than PTSD, to include anxiety and depression, based on a medical opinion linking the conditions to the Veteran's active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 private medical opinion provided a clear rationale linking the Veteran's anxiety and depression to his active-duty service, considering all pertinent evidence of record.
