PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The veteran's PTSD is manifested by occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, which does not warrant a rating higher than 50 percent.

The appeal is remanded for further development, including obtaining VA treatment records and scheduling a new PTSD examination.

The veteran's claim for an increased rating for PTSD is being remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication.

The veteran's bilateral hearing loss was incurred during his active military service and is therefore service-connected.

The veteran's service-connected PTSD is rated at 30 percent, as it is manifested by occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks (although generally functioning satisfactorily, with routine behavior, self-care, and conversation normal), due to such symptoms as: depressed mood, anxiety, suspiciousness, panic attacks (weekly or less often), chronic sleep impairment, mild memory loss (such as forgetting names, directions, recent events).

The veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), is being remanded for further development.

The veteran's claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was remanded to the RO/AMC for further development, including a VA psychiatric examination and potential evidentiary development regarding his claimed in-service stressors.

The veteran's PTSD was found to be manifested by occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating.

The appeal for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder, high blood pressure and numbness and tingling in the hands and feet was remanded to the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) for further development.

The veteran's claims for service connection for an acquired psychological disorder, residuals of frostbite of the knees, and a low back disorder are being remanded for further development.

The Board denied service connection for PTSD and depression as there was no credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service stressors occurred, and the veteran did not meet the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis.

The veteran's PTSD, apart from his alcohol abuse disorder that has not been linked to the PTSD, caused occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks (although generally functioning satisfactorily, with routine behavior, self-care, and conversation normal).

The veteran's PTSD has been rated at 70 percent due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood.

The veteran's herpes zoster began in active service and caused a recurrent infection to occur in August 2000.

The veteran's claims for service connection and increased ratings are being remanded for additional development, including a VA psychiatric examination and examinations to assess the current severity of his asthma and bilateral knee disabilities.

The Board granted service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on new and material evidence.

The veteran's PTSD is not shown to be more disabling than the currently assigned 30 percent rating.

The veteran's service connection claim for PTSD has been granted, and the evidence received since the March 1999 RO decision is new and material to reopen his claim for schizophrenia.

The veteran's service connection for PTSD was granted, resolving reasonable doubt in his favor based on the verified stressor of enemy fire at his base and medical evidence linking his PTSD to this experience.

The Board found that the preponderance of the evidence indicates that the veteran does not currently have a mental health disability other than PTSD.
