PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Veteran's service connection for PTSD is granted based on a current diagnosis and verified in-service stressors.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a low back disability, left knee disability, bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, myopia, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The Board grants service connection for diabetes mellitus, type 2 and denies service connection for a skin disorder. The claim of PTSD is reopened but requires further development.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for an anxiety disorder, PTSD, and alcohol abuse as there was no competent evidence linking these conditions to his military service. The claim for TDIU was also denied as service connection was not in effect for any disability.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development, including verification of claimed stressors and a possible VA psychiatric examination.

The Board remands the claims for further development, including obtaining a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of any residuals of an in-service heat injury.

The Board found that the Veteran did not submit a timely notice of disagreement regarding the effective date for service connection for PTSD, and dismissed the appeal.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder to include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was denied as the competent and probative evidence did not show that he has such a condition causally related to his service.

The veteran's claim for an increased rating for his service-connected PTSD is being remanded to the RO for a new VA examination.

The appeal is remanded for additional development, including a Social and Industrial survey and an examination to assess the impact of service-connected disabilities on employability.

The appeal for a higher rating for PTSD was denied as the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 50 percent.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for initial consideration of new evidence and verification of claimed stressors.

The Board denied service connection for chronic headaches and PTSD, but granted a 70 percent rating for organic affective disorder prior to March 2, 2005.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication.

The Veteran's diabetes mellitus has been rated at 40 percent, as it requires insulin and a restricted diet with regulation of activities.

The Board denied service connection for a back disorder and PTSD, finding no credible evidence supporting the claimed in-service stressors.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of right breast gynecomastia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were granted.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for scheduling a video conference hearing.

The Veteran was found to be unemployable as of September 15, 1997, due to his service-connected PTSD. The rating for PTSD was increased to 50 percent from September 15, 1997, through September 14, 1998.

The Board remands the case to ensure compliance with previous Remand instructions, including verifying claimed stressors and obtaining additional medical evidence.
