PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Veteran's claim for service connection for a major depressive disorder was granted, while the claim for PTSD was denied.

The Veteran's service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder was granted a 30 percent evaluation during the period from March 28, 2006 to July 16, 2007.

The Board denied service connection for PTSD and anxiety disorder as there was no diagnosis of PTSD, and the evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's diagnosed conditions and his active duty service.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development of evidence related to the Veteran's claimed in-service stressors.

The Board denied service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder as there was no credible evidence of an in-service stressor and the Veteran did not engage in combat.

The Board granted service connection for PTSD based on a current diagnosis and a verified in-service stressor.

The Veteran was granted service connection for phobia, situational, fear of flying and denied service connection for PTSD.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for additional development, including a VCAA notice letter and VA examination.

The Veteran's PTSD has been manifested by symptoms that include depression, depressed mood and affect, anxiety with occasional anxiety attacks, anger, irritability, difficulty concentrating, sleep impairment, nightmares, avoidant behavior, startle response, intrusive thoughts, suspiciousness, and hypervigilance. However, the evidence does not support an initial rating in excess of 50 percent.

The Board denied service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder, diabetes mellitus, type II, hypertension, peripheral neuropathy of the upper and lower extremities, erectile dysfunction, cataracts, residuals of a cold injury, tinnitus, dental disorder, and left leg disorder as there was no evidence to support a diagnosis or link to service.

The Board denied service connection for PTSD, right ankle disability to include Achilles tendonitis, right shoulder disability, and left shoulder disability as there was no competent medical evidence of current disabilities or sufficient evidence to support a finding that the pre-existing conditions were aggravated during active service.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for additional development, including verification of the Veteran's claimed in-service stressors and a possible VA psychiatric examination.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for depression, irritable bowel syndrome, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus were denied as new and material evidence was not submitted. The claim for PTSD was reopened but ultimately denied due to the lack of a valid diagnosis.

The appeal was denied because new and material evidence has not been submitted to reopen the claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The Board denied service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as there was no current diagnosis of PTSD in accordance with DSM-IV criteria.

The Veteran's PTSD was rated at 30 percent from June 3, 2004 to February 5, 2007 and increased to 50 percent thereafter due to worsening symptoms.

The appeal is being remanded to verify the Veteran's alleged stressors and determine if they are sufficient to support a diagnosis of PTSD.

The appeal for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder is remanded to obtain the Veteran's complete service personnel file and to confirm a reported in-service stressor.

The Veteran is unable to obtain and maintain any form of substantially gainful employment due to the effects of his service-connected PTSD.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development of the Veteran's PTSD claim, including verification of alleged stressors and a VA psychiatric examination.
