PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board has determined that there is no evidence of current PTSD or hypertension related to service, and thus denied the veteran's claims for these conditions.

The Board has granted service connection for hyperacusis and assigned a 30 percent evaluation for PTSD, finding that the veteran's symptoms meet the criteria for a 30 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.

The veteran's appeal involves multiple issues related to his service connection claims, including a request for an increased disability rating and effective date changes. The case is being remanded due to procedural issues.

The Board has remanded the case for further action due to a lack of VCAA notice.

The veteran's PTSD was rated at 30 percent from March 11, 1996 to June 2004.

The veteran's PTSD is rated at 70 percent disabling, and his lumbosacral spine disability is rated at 40 percent disabling.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining records from VA and Social Security Administration, scheduling a psychiatric examination, and reconciling conflicting opinions.

The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been received to reopen the veteran's claim of service connection for PTSD. The issue is now remanded for further development.

The Board has ordered additional development regarding the veteran's claimed stressors during his service in Vietnam. The case is REMANDED for further inquiry into these stressors and verification of their occurrence.

The Board found that the veteran's diagnosis of PTSD was linked to in-service stressors and supported by credible supporting evidence, leading to a grant of service connection for PTSD.

The veteran's claim for an increased rating for PTSD is being remanded due to the inadequacy of the previous examination and need for a new evaluation.

The VA has granted an initial rating of 100 percent for the veteran's PTSD, effective from December 11, 2002.
