Granted
The Board granted service connection for generalized anxiety disorder, finding the evidence to be in relative equipoise as to whether it was incurred in or caused by service.
The deciding factor: The lay statements from the Veteran's mother and the opinion from the August 2023 VA examiner were persuasive in finding that her generalized anxiety disorder was caused by service.
