Granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD and a back disability, diagnosed as degenerative disc disease (DDD), based on new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted due to credible supporting evidence of an in-service stressor and medical evidence linking the Veteran's current disabilities to his active service.
