Granted
The Board granted service connection for a mental disorder, including unspecified anxiety disorder and unspecified depressive disorder, finding that the evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether these conditions are related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a causal relationship between the Veteran's current mental health disorders and his time in service, despite some conflicting opinions regarding the exact nature of the connection.
