Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, excluding PTSD, based on new and relevant evidence that the Veteran's current condition was related to his in-service head injury.
The deciding factor: The April 2020 private opinion provided adequate rationale for concluding that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, excluding PTSD, was caused by his in-service head injury, giving it significant probative weight.
