PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) decisions — 2008

The appeal is remanded to consider the veteran's efforts prior to June 15, 2001, for service connection of PTSD and the provisions of Section 7 of the VCAA.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and adjudication of the veteran's claims.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as there was no credible supporting evidence of an in-service stressor.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as there was no credible supporting evidence of an in-service stressor and the claimed stressors were not related to combat.
