Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include other specified trauma and stressor related disorder - adjustment-like disorder with prolonged duration of more than 6 months without prolonged duration of the stressor, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a finding that the Veteran's current psychiatric disorder is related to his service due to reported stressors while working as a corrections officer at Fort Leavenworth.
