PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of a shrapnel wound injury to the right eye, PTSD, and left ankle fracture. The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities related to these conditions.

The Board has determined that the appellant's PTSD produces significant occupational and social impairment, warranting a 70 percent disability rating.

The Board has determined that the veteran's death was not caused by a service-connected disability, and thus denied the claim for service connection for the cause of the veteran's death.

The veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD is being remanded due to the need for a VA examination and additional medical records.

The Board has determined that the veteran does not have PTSD and therefore, service connection for PTSD is denied.

The Board has remanded the case due to the veteran's incarceration and lack of VA treatment records, requiring further examination and development.

The veteran's appeal for retroactive disability compensation at the 100% rating of $2,163 per month from July 1, 1995 is denied.

The veteran's claim for increased evaluations of his service-connected PTSD was denied. He received a 50% evaluation from December 14, 1991 to December 29, 1991 and a 100% evaluation from December 30, 1991 to February 29, 1992. The RO then granted a 50% evaluation from March 1, 1992 to September 24, 1992, and a 70% evaluation from April 1, 1993 to November 7, 1994.

The Board is remanding the case for further development to ensure full compliance with due process requirements.

The Board has determined that the veteran's current diagnosis of PTSD is linked to his military service stressors and granted service connection for this condition.

The Board is remanding the case to obtain additional records from NARA, which may help determine whether new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the veteran's claim of service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder.

The veteran's appeal is remanded due to the need for additional development, including obtaining more recent treatment records and arranging for a VA psychiatric examination.

The VA denied the veteran's claims for increased evaluations for his post-traumatic stress disorder, finding that he did not meet the criteria for an evaluation in excess of 50 percent prior to February 26, 2004 or a current evaluation in excess of 70 percent.

The VA has determined that the veteran's PTSD results in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, warranting a 50 percent disability rating.

The Board has determined that the veteran does not have PTSD as a result of service and therefore denied his claim for service connection.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a right shoulder disability and PTSD, finding that new and material evidence had not been submitted to reopen the claim for a right shoulder condition and that there was insufficient evidence to support a diagnosis of PTSD.

The VA determined that the veteran's PTSD does not warrant a higher initial rating beyond the currently assigned 70 percent.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient information about the veteran's claimed stressors and a need for additional medical records. The claim will be reviewed again after these requirements are met.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection and increased compensation based on PTSD, finding that February 18, 2000 is the appropriate date. The appeal was not about service connection at all.

The veteran's PTSD is found to have been incurred in active service, and the claim for service connection is granted.
