PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD and an increased disability rating for nephrolithiasis. The claim for PTSD was denied due to a lack of competent medical evidence linking any current disorder to his active service, while the claim for an earlier effective date for the nephrolithiasis rating is considered moot as no case or controversy remains.

The veteran's claims for service connection for anxiety neurosis, PTSD, and knee disabilities have been denied. The effective date of the grant of service connection for PTSD is October 20, 1994.

However, he was granted service connection for PTSD with a 10 percent initial rating retroactively effective from January 21, 2004, and prostate cancer with a 100 percent rating retroactively effective from April 12, 2005 to May 31, 2005.
