PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for the RO to review additional medical evidence submitted by him and prepare a Supplemental Statement of the Case.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded due to the need for additional VA examinations and records review. The increased rating claim for PTSD and the TDIU claim are both pending.

The Veteran's service-connected PTSD has not been characterized by occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, warranting a 30 percent evaluation.

The Veteran's service-connected PTSD and other disabilities prevented him from securing and following substantially gainful employment during the period from June 10, 2005 through August 6, 2006.

The Veteran's service-connected PTSD contributed substantially to his death from acute renal failure and coronary artery disease.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's PTSD is related to his military service, and thus service connection for PTSD is granted.

The Veteran is entitled to TDIU and SMC for the period prior to March 26, 2007 due to service-connected disabilities of residuals of shell fragment wounds of the left hand, hearing loss, tinnitus, PTSD, and a scar from an exotomectomy.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation, warranting a TDIU rating.

The Veteran's PTSD did not result in more than occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks, warranting a 30 percent disability rating.

The Veteran's claim for an increased initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for PTSD is being remanded due to the need for a new VA examination and additional treatment records.
