PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of a psychiatric disorder, including PTSD. The Board needs to provide an adequate statement of reasons or bases addressing the credibility of the Veteran's asserted stressor and the corroborated evidence submitted.

The Board remanded the claim for a higher rating of PTSD to correct an error in obtaining necessary records.

All appeals were dismissed because the veteran did not file timely notices of disagreement.

The appeal challenging a proposed reduction in the disability rating for PTSD with unspecified depressive disorder was dismissed because there was no final decision by the agency to review.

The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of PTSD and PDD due to errors in assisting the veteran and lack of verification of claimed stressors.

The veteran's PTSD rating was increased to 70% due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.

The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date and higher ratings before August 9, 2021, was denied. A rating of 70% from August 9, 2021, through August 21, 2022, was granted. The veteran was also granted TDIU effective August 9, 2021.

The veteran's effective date for service connection of PTSD has been granted as March 8, 1995.

The Board remanded the case to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error and to determine the nature and etiology of any acquired psychiatric disorder.

The appeal related to the effective date for PTSD service connection was dismissed as moot because the relief sought had already been granted in a previous decision.

The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD due to incomplete development of evidence related to in-service stressors.
