PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, hair loss, a skin disorder, and bronchitis as they were not related to disease or injury during the Veteran's active service.

The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 70 percent for PTSD, as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.

The Veteran's service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was rated at 30 percent from October 21, 2002, through June 25, 2008, and then increased to 50 percent effective on June 26, 2008.
