Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, finding that it is aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected spine disabilities and associated radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a favorable opinion on aggravation due to chronic pain from the Veteran's service-connected spine conditions, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the claimant.
