PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The veteran's appeal is being remanded due to the submission of new medical evidence that was not reviewed by the RO. The RO will consider this new evidence and provide a Supplemental Statement of the Case before any further appellate consideration.

The veteran's claim for a total disability rating earlier than October 13, 1998 was denied as there is no evidence showing that his PTSD met the criteria for a 100% rating or rendered him unemployable prior to this date.

The veteran's claimed psychiatric disabilities were not incurred or aggravated by service, and the residuals of his fracture of the right fifth metacarpal are currently evaluated as noncompensably disabling.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD because there was no indication of a verified stressor to support such a diagnosis. The new evidence received since 1997 did not provide such verification.

The VA denied the veteran's application for an increased rating for his PTSD, currently evaluated as 50 percent disabling.

The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and renal cell carcinoma, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder. The veteran's death was not due to a service-connected disability.

The Board found that the appellant does not have PTSD attributable to in-service stressors and denied his claim for service connection.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for an increased rating for PTSD and TDIU due to service-connected disability, finding that his symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.

The Board of Veterans' Appeals found that there is no competent medical evidence to support a diagnosis of PTSD or any other psychiatric disorder, and thus denied the veteran's claim for service connection.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD is related to his service in South Korea and grants service connection for PTSD.

The Board has found that the veteran's reported rape in service is verified and sufficient to cause PTSD. The VA examiner confirmed this, linking the PTSD directly to his service. Therefore, the claim for service connection for PTSD is granted.

The Board has ordered additional development due to missing personnel records and an Air Force report. The veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD is being remanded.

The veteran's appeal for an increased evaluation of PTSD has been withdrawn, resulting in the dismissal of the case.

The Board denied the appellant's claim for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits under Chapter 35, Title 38, United States Code due to lack of legal basis and specific eligibility criteria.

The Board found that the veteran's claimed in-service stressors, including shooting a child and being exposed to incoming fire, were not verified. As such, the diagnosis of PTSD was based on after-the-fact medical nexus evidence and did not meet the criteria for service connection.

The veteran's appeal has been withdrawn before the Board could make a decision. As such, the case is dismissed.

The Board found that the veteran does not suffer from PTSD which can be related to his period of service and denied entitlement to service connection for PTSD.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD due to a lack of corroborated stressor incidents, and thus, the preponderance of evidence is against the claim.

The Board found that the veteran does not have a current diagnosis of PTSD and did not submit credible supporting evidence for his claimed in-service stressors. Therefore, service connection for PTSD is denied.

The veteran has withdrawn his appeal for service connection of PTSD.
