Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder based on qualifying service, as there was no evidence of a disease or injury incurred or aggravated in the line of duty during active duty training (ADT) or inactive duty training (IDT).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the appellant's current mental health problems were due to an event or injury during her service, and the VA examiner opined that her conditions were related to factors outside of military service.
