PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The veteran's income exceeded the maximum annual rate for pension, thus he is not entitled to VA non-service connected disability pension benefits.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD, erectile dysfunction secondary to PTSD, and an increased rating for headaches.

The Veteran's PTSD is manifested by no more than occupational and social impairment, with reduced reliability and productivity; a current GAF score of 40.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection were denied as the evidence did not support a higher evaluation or grant of service connection.

The Veteran was granted an initial 30 percent rating for PTSD prior to October 27, 2005, and a 50 percent rating on and after that date.

The May 1987 rating decision denying service connection for PTSD is final and was not the result of clear and unmistakable error.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD and diabetes mellitus, are of such severity as to preclude him from obtaining or retaining substantially gainful employment.

The Veteran's service-connected PTSD does not preclude him from substantially gainful employment.

The appellant was granted a 50 percent rating for PTSD, effective February 24, 2006.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for additional development, including a new VA examination to assess the current severity of the Veteran's PTSD.

The appeal is remanded to the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) for further development and readjudication.

The appeal is remanded for additional evidence and examination to determine the nature and etiology of the claimed conditions.

The issues of entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for service-connected tinnitus with disequilibrium and the claim of service connection for PTSD are being remanded to the RO via the Appeals Management Center (AMC) in Washington, DC.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date and granted a 50% rating for PTSD, effective from November 2, 2006.

The Veteran's PTSD was rated at 30 percent prior to April 2, 1999 and increased to 50 percent effective April 2, 1999. The Veteran is also entitled to a total rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities from April 2, 1999 to March 14, 2006.

The Board denied service connection for PTSD based on the evidence of record not supporting a finding that an independently verified or corroborated stressor event in service supports a current diagnosis of PTSD.

The Veteran's initial rating for PTSD was increased from 50 percent to 70 percent, effective October 5, 2004.

The Board denied service connection for PTSD as the Veteran did not engage in combat with the enemy and his claimed stressors were not corroborated.

The Board found that there was no probative evidence establishing a nexus between the Veteran's cause of death and service, nor did any service-connected disability cause or contribute substantially to his demise.

The Veteran does not have PTSD that is the result of disease or injury incurred in or aggravated during active military service.
