PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) decisions — 2007

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a psychiatric disorder, including PTSD. The appeal was also not successful in establishing a diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder other than PTSD.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient development of evidence regarding the veteran's claimed PTSD, including verification of alleged stressors.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development to verify stressors and determine if service connection can be granted for PTSD.

The veteran was granted service connection for PTSD due to his combat experiences in Vietnam.,Service connection was denied for a right knee disorder, back disorder, and skin disorder as there is no evidence of such conditions related to active military service.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD is service-connected as a result of his exposure to combat and death as a medic during his military service.

The veteran's claims for increased evaluations for PTSD and left shoulder subacromial bursitis were denied as the evidence did not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation.

The veteran does not have a verified stressor to support his diagnosis of PTSD, and therefore, service connection for PTSD is denied.

The Board has determined that the appropriate Regional Office to process the veteran's claim is not yet clear, and a hearing before a Veterans Law Judge sitting at a Regional Office needs to be scheduled based on the veteran's current address.

The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate notice and failure to verify in-service stressors. The veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD is now pending, with a request for additional evidence and information.

The veteran's service-connected PTSD was rated at 50 percent from June 26, 2000 to September 10, 2001 and denied for a higher rating.

The evidence did not support a diagnosis of PTSD, and the VA examiner found no current symptoms consistent with the diagnostic criteria for PTSD.

The VA denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD, finding that he did not engage in combat with an enemy and did not have a diagnosed PTSD as a result of an in-service stressor.
