Denied
The Board denied service connection for PTSD as the evidence did not support a credible in-service stressor.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not provide credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service personal assault actually occurred, and there was no clear indication of an in-service event consistent with the Veteran's reported experiences.
