PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The veteran's appeals for increased ratings have been dismissed as she has withdrawn her appeal.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD warrants a 70 percent disability rating, reflecting significant occupational and social impairment.

The Board has determined that additional development of the evidentiary record is required before the merits of your appeal are reviewed. You will need to provide records from Vet Centers and VA Medical Center, as well as any other medical providers you have seen for psychiatric treatment.

The Board has restored a 70% rating for PTSD from November 7, 1996 through May 26, 1998 and determined that VA accurately calculated past-due benefits.

The Board found that the veteran does not currently suffer from PTSD and denied his claim for service connection.

The Board granted service connection for avascular necrosis of multiple joints, finding it was proximately due to or the result of a service-connected disability (IBS). The other issues were not addressed as they are related to different conditions.

The veteran's claim for an increased rating of PTSD to 100 percent was granted effective April 1, 2004. The appeal is now closed as the issues have been resolved.

The Board is remanding the case to determine if the veteran was exposed to mustard gas in Bari, Italy during December 1943 and whether he developed any conditions related to that exposure. The appellant believes her husband's death may have been caused by his mustard gas exposure.

The Board has ordered the case to be remanded for further development, including obtaining additional records and scheduling a VA psychiatric and orthopedic examination.

The Board has determined that the veteran's claimed in-service stressors are not supported by credible evidence and therefore, service connection for PTSD cannot be established.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD does not meet or approximate the criteria for a rating higher than 30 percent, as his symptoms do not warrant such an evaluation.

The veteran's claim for a higher evaluation for post-traumatic stress disorder was granted, and he is currently receiving a 70 percent rating. The effective date remains pending as the issue of an earlier effective date for this rating is being remanded.

The Board denied service connection for a psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, and a bilateral knee disorder due to lack of medical evidence linking these conditions to service.

The veteran withdrew his appeal regarding the service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder, and as a result, the case has been dismissed.

The veteran's PTSD is currently rated at 50 percent, reflecting significant occupational and social impairment.
