Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for PTSD due to a lack of credible evidence supporting the claimed in-service stressor, and remanded the claim for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include depression, for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of credible evidence corroborating the Veteran's reported in-service stressor for PTSD, while acknowledging that additional evidence may support a connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, including depression.
