Acquired psychiatric disorder Board decisions

The Board has determined that the VA examinations provided were insufficient to address the Veteran's claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 due to incomplete consideration of her subjective statements and medical records, as well as failure to consider whether there was negligence or lack of duty of care by a reasonable healthcare provider.

The Veteran's claims for service connection were denied as new and material evidence was not submitted to support his right knee disability claim.

The Veteran's claims for PTSD, depressive disorder, right and left knee disabilities, ischemic heart disease with atrial fibrillation, tension headaches, bilateral hearing loss, hemorrhoids, chronic prostatitis, back disability, right hip disability, and left hip disability have been granted.
