The appeal is remanded to verify the veteran's stressors and obtain SSA records.

The veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD, a low back disorder, and compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for a heart condition were denied as the evidence did not support the conclusion that he has PTSD or a chronic psychiatric disorder during his military service, and there was no new and material evidence to reopen the claim for a low back disorder.
