Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, resolving the benefit of the doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence reflects that the Veteran experienced psychiatric symptoms in service and that there have been continuous symptoms since service. The private examiner and VA examiner both opined that his psychiatric disabilities stemmed from his service.
