PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) decisions — 2010

The Veteran's PTSD was found to have been incurred during his active military service, and the Board granted this claim.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's PTSD was caused, at least in part, by a personal assault she suffered while on active duty and granted her claim for service connection.

The Veteran has been granted service connection for PTSD, which is considered a direct result of his active duty experiences.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings for posttraumatic stress disorder and diabetes mellitus, type II, as well as his claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities are being remanded for additional development.

The Veteran's claim for an increased rating for PTSD is being remanded due to the need for a new VA examination and additional medical records.

The Veteran's claims for service connection were denied. The Veteran was granted a non-compensable evaluation for his hearing loss in the right ear, but his claim for an initial compensable rating for his hearing loss in the left ear remains denied.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining SSA records and a VA psychiatric examination to determine if the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is related to her military service.

The Veteran's PTSD has been rated at 30 percent, and the Board found that this rating adequately compensates for his symptoms of depression, anxiety, and occasional periods of inability to perform occupational tasks.

The Veteran's claim for an increased rating in excess of 50 percent for his service-connected PTSD is being remanded due to the need for a new VA examination and updated medical records.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient verification of stressors and a need for further examination. The Veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD is pending.

The Board has determined that the original grant of service connection for PTSD was not clearly and unmistakably erroneous, thus the severance decision is improper and service connection for PTSD must be restored.

The Veteran's appeal has been withdrawn and is dismissed.

The Veteran's claims have been dismissed due to his death, and the Board has no jurisdiction to adjudicate them.

The Veteran's service-connected PTSD is currently rated at 50 percent disabling, and the Board finds that it does not meet the criteria for a higher rating.

The Veteran seeks service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD. The Board has determined that a new examination is necessary to assess whether any of the Veteran's psychiatric conditions were caused by or began during his active service.

The Board has remanded the case for further development due to new military records submitted by the Veteran's attorney.

For the period from December 27, 2001 to July 15, 2002, the Veteran's PTSD was rated at 50 percent.,Since June 14, 2006, the Veteran's PTSD has been rated at 70 percent.

The Board found that the Veteran does not have a diagnosed psychiatric disorder, including PTSD. The preponderance of the evidence shows that any memory loss and cognitive impairment are not attributable to service.

The Board has remanded the case to obtain additional records and address whether new evidence supports reopening the claim for service connection for PTSD.

The Veteran's appeal has been withdrawn prior to the Board issuing a decision.
