PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The veteran's claim for TDIU was granted as his service-connected PTSD meets the criteria for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability. His other service-connected conditions do not meet the schedular requirements for TDIU, but he is found to be unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment due to his PTSD.

The Board has determined that additional development is necessary to determine the validity of the veteran's claimed PTSD and whether it is related to service. The case will be returned for further action.

The Board found that the veteran's current headaches are not related to service and were not caused or aggravated by a service-connected disability such as the fracture of the left zygomaticomaxillary compound and left zygomatic arch. The residuals of fracture of the left zygomaticomaxillary compound and left zygomatic arch resulted in pain and slight limitation of motion, but did not result in inter-incisal range limitation.

The Board granted the veteran's motion to advance this case on the docket based on a finding of good cause. The issue on appeal is whether the veteran should be rated as 100 percent disabled for his PTSD due to his symptomatology.

The VA determined that the veteran does not have a current diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and therefore cannot establish service connection for PTSD.
