Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include adjustment disorder, related to military sexual trauma due to a lack of evidence linking the current disability to in-service events.
The deciding factor: The probative medical opinion concluded that the Veteran's current psychiatric condition is less likely than not related to the reported in-service military sexual trauma and more likely attributable to recent life stresses.
