Acquired psychiatric disorder Board decisions

The Board's decision is dismissed because there was no final decision to review for CUE.

The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current psychiatric disorder or hypertension related to his military service and therefore, service connection for these conditions is denied.

The Board has remanded the case due to the need for additional medical records and examinations related to the Veteran's claims of service connection for cancer of the left breast and an acquired psychiatric disorder.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an increased rating for his lumbar strain and service connection for a psychiatric disorder, including depression, as secondary to his service-connected lumbar strain. The evidence did not support the existence of any current acquired psychiatric disorder.

The Board found that the Veteran's current psychiatric disorder was first manifested during service and is related to his service, warranting a grant of service connection.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining deck logs from the USS Midway and attempting to obtain corroborating stressor information. The Veteran's claim for service connection for psychiatric disorder will be adjudicated on the merits.

The Board denied service connection for PTSD and a psychiatric disorder, but granted the claim to reopen for a skin disorder. The Veteran's duodenal ulcer rating remains unchanged.

The Veteran's claims for service connection are being remanded due to the need for additional development and evidence.

The Veteran's case is being remanded for additional development due to relocation and a request for a new hearing. The primary issue remains the entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD.

The Veteran's neuropsychiatric disability is currently rated at 70 percent, and the claim for an increased rating on an extra-schedular basis for headaches with aqueductal stenosis, hydrocephalus, and dizziness has been granted.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, finding no current diagnosis and insufficient evidence to establish a psychosis within one year of discharge.

The Board has reopened the Veteran's claim for service connection for a psychiatric disorder, to include schizophrenia and PTSD. The Veteran was diagnosed with both PTSD and schizophrenia that are linked to his military service.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include schizophrenia, was denied as there is no evidence of a link between his current condition and his military service.

The Veteran's service was less than 90 days and he did not meet the criteria for basic eligibility to nonservice-connected pension benefits due to lack of a service-connected disability at discharge.

The VA denied the appellant's claims for service connection for his right knee disability and psychiatric disorder, finding that new evidence did not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating these claims.

The Veteran's service connection claims for schizophrenia and alcoholic hallucinations are being remanded due to incomplete records and the need for further medical examination.

The Board has determined that the Veteran is not competent to manage his own financial affairs without limitation due to his psychiatric conditions, and therefore denies direct payment of VA benefits.

The Board found no evidence of a current disability related to service and denied the claim for service connection.

The Board and RO denied service connection for a psychiatric disability, other than PTSD, alcoholism, and a right knee disability. The Veteran's claim of reopening the psychiatric disability was not successful due to lack of new and material evidence.

The Board has granted service connection for schizophrenia, undifferentiated type, finding that new and material evidence was received to reopen the claim. The Veteran's current diagnosis of schizophrenia is found to be related to his service.
