Acquired psychiatric disorder Board decisions

The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining medical records and scheduling a VA examination to assess the veteran's psychiatric disorder. The claims for an increased rating for psychiatric disorder and entitlement to TDIU are also being addressed.

The Board has determined that the veteran did not timely file a substantive appeal regarding the May 2004 denial of service connection for sarcoidosis. As such, the Board does not have jurisdiction to consider this claim on its merits.

The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, claimed as depression, and PTSD. The veteran's symptoms were not linked to his military service.

The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a psychiatric disorder, diagnosed as schizophrenia, that was incurred in or aggravated by service. The evidence does not support a finding of service connection for this condition.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, residuals of a back, neck, and shoulder injury, an acquired psychiatric disorder, and hydrocele. The Board found no competent medical evidence linking these conditions to his military service.

The veteran is seeking service connection for a psychiatric disorder. The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete records and further examination is needed.

The Board found that the veteran's right knee and low back disabilities were not incurred in service, and his acquired psychiatric disorder was not incurred within one year of discharge. The claims for these conditions were therefore denied.

The Board has determined that the veteran's psychiatric disorder is causally related to his service-connected bilateral hearing loss and grants service connection for this condition.

The Board has determined that there is not sufficient evidence to establish service connection for a psychiatric disorder or bilateral hearing loss.

The VA determined that the veteran's facial numbness and tingling, as well as his mental disorder, were not caused by errors in judgment or similar instances of fault during dental treatment at a VA Medical Center. The claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 was denied.

The Board has granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, and PTSD. The veteran's claims are now complete.

The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a psychiatric disorder for VA compensation purposes and therefore, service connection is denied.

The Board denied the veteran's claims to reopen his previously denied claims of service connection for a psychiatric disability and ulcers, finding that the new evidence submitted was not material.

The Board found that the veteran's diagnosed psychiatric disorders are unrelated to his period of service or any incident therein, and therefore denied the claim for service connection.

The Board has granted service connection for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as it is related to the veteran's active duty service. Service connection for schizophrenia was not established, but PTSD alone will be granted.

The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current diagnosis of chronic depressive disorder or schizophrenia, and finds that these conditions are not related to his active service.

The Board found that the veteran's diagnosed personality disorder is not a disability for VA compensation purposes and denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder.

The Board has reopened the claim for service connection for schizophrenia and remanded it for further development, including a new psychiatric examination.

The veteran's claim for service connection for a mental condition claimed as bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia is being remanded due to the need for additional development of his VA treatment records and other relevant medical history.

The Board found that the veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is not related to his military service and denied his claim.
