Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal to readjudicate her service connection claim for panic disorder (also claimed as anxiety disorder and depressive disorder) due to a lack of new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The private examination and lay witness statement were not considered new and relevant, as they did not prove or disprove a nexus between the Veteran's condition and her service.
