Granted
The Board grants service connection for a mental health disability, as currently diagnosed, based on traumatic experiences during active military service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported stressors are consistent with the nature, places, and circumstances of his service, and a licensed psychologist opined that it is more likely than not that the diagnosed mental health diagnoses are related to events in service.
