Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for adjustment disorder with alcohol use disorder and granted service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran has a diagnosis of PTSD related to active service, and the Board resolved doubt in the Veteran's favor.
