PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The VA determined that the Veteran does not have a current valid diagnosis of PTSD, and thus denied service connection for this condition.

The Board denied service connection for a seizure disorder, PTSD, and low back disorder as the evidence did not establish these conditions were incurred or aggravated by military service.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's appeal due to inadequate examination and failure to obtain a social and industrial survey. The case is now pending for further development.

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

The Board found no nexus between the Veteran's active duty and his currently shown psychiatric disorders, including PTSD and depression. Therefore, service connection for a psychiatric disorder is not warranted.

The Veteran's PTSD is related to his service in Somalia, and he was granted service connection for this condition. The Veteran also had an increased rating for his low back disability, which was granted effective June 7, 2004.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD was denied as there is no credible supporting evidence of the claimed in-service stressors. The Board found that the Veteran did not engage in combat with the enemy during his military service.

The Veteran's appeal was dismissed due to his death during the pendency of the appeal.

The Board found that the Veteran did not have a current right leg, left leg, or bilateral hearing loss disability. The Board also determined that there was no evidence of service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder and depression due to his service-connected stomach scar.

The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been received to reopen the Veteran's claim for service connection of PTSD. The Veteran will be afforded a VA examination to determine if he has PTSD related to a verified stressor.

The Veteran's PTSD is rated at 50 percent, and he has service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. The Board finds the evidence in equipoise as to whether these conditions are related to his military service.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD due to insufficient evidence of a verified in-service stressor.

The Board found that there was no clear and unmistakable error in the May 30, 2002 rating decision regarding the effective date for PTSD service connection.

The Veteran's PTSD is currently rated as 10 percent disabling. The Board has decided to remand the case for further evaluation and consideration of his claim.

The Veteran's PTSD has been rated at 50% since September 26, 2007. The Board granted a temporary total disability rating for hospital treatment from June 15, 2009. TDIU was not warranted as the Veteran is still employed and his service-connected disabilities do not preclude him from following a substantially gainful occupation.

The Board has dismissed the appeal as the appellant withdrew it prior to a decision being made.

The Veteran's posttraumatic stress disorder is currently rated at 30 percent, and the Board finds that it does not warrant a higher rating based on the evidence of record.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD has been reopened due to the submission of new and material evidence. The stressor events reported by the Veteran have been verified, allowing for a determination on the merits.

The Veteran's PTSD has not resulted in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, as required for a higher rating. The majority of his impairment is due to non-service-connected personality disorder and substance-induced mood disorder.

The Veteran's posttraumatic stress disorder was not manifested by occupational and social impairment with an occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks during the period from August 7, 2003, to May 4, 2005.
