Denied
The Board denied service connection for a psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD and MDD, as well as entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claim that the Veteran's psychiatric disorders began during active service or were related to an in-service injury or disease.
