PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including prostate cancer and PTSD with secondary persistent depressive disorder and alcohol use disorder, have rendered him unable to secure or follow any substantially gainful occupation. The Board has remanded the case for referral to the Director of the Compensation Service for consideration of a TDIU on an extraschedular basis.

The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of PTSD, and therefore, service connection for PTSD is denied.

The Board has ordered the case to be remanded due to incomplete development and for further examination. The Veteran's claim will be reconsidered with updated medical records and a new in-person VA examination.

The Veteran's PTSD/depression symptoms have resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70% disability rating from April 26, 2010 until April 27, 2017.

The Board has remanded the cases for further examination and etiology opinions due to the Veteran's assertions of increased disability severity and new evidence submitted.

The Veteran's service-connected PTSD and coronary artery disease rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment as of December 2, 2009. The Board granted a TDIU effective that date.

The Veteran's PTSD is rated at a 70 percent disability rating, effective February 20, 2015. The Board found that the evidence supported this increased rating based on occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.

The Veteran's PTSD with major depressive disorder is currently rated at 50 percent, and the Board has denied a higher rating. The Veteran was granted TDIU based on his service-connected disabilities.
