PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board has determined that the Veteran's PTSD is attributable to service and grants the claim for service connection.

The Board has remanded the case for further development and consideration, including verification of service records, obtaining VA and private treatment records, and issuing a statement of the case on the issue of service connection for a psychiatric disorder to include PTSD.

The veteran is seeking service connection for PTSD. The case has been remanded due to the need for verification of in-service stressors and a VA psychiatric examination.

The Board granted a 70 percent evaluation for PTSD, effective April 10, 1996. The issue of whether the veteran timely filed an appeal regarding an earlier effective date for his TDIU rating was remanded to the RO.

The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been received to reopen the claim for PTSD, and service connection is granted.

The Board found that the veteran's PTSD was incurred in service due to a personal assault, and granted his claim for service connection.

The veteran is asked to provide additional information about when the alleged stressors occurred, and for the VA to attempt to verify these events through unit history reports.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding the veteran's claimed in-service stressors and their relationship to his PTSD. The RO is instructed to obtain additional records, verify the veteran's reported experiences, and schedule a VA examination if necessary.

The VA determined that the veteran's post-traumatic stress disorder does not warrant an evaluation in excess of 50 percent.

The Board found that the veteran does not have PTSD or major depression as a result of service, and his generalized joint pains are not due to an undiagnosed illness. The arthritis was also not incurred in service.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded due to inadequate VCAA notice and for further development.

The Board has granted a rating of 50 percent for PTSD from March 27, 2000. Prior to that date, the veteran's PTSD resulted in considerable social and industrial impairment.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded due to the inaudibility of his Travel Board hearing recording, and he has requested another hearing. The case will be returned to the Board after the new hearing.

The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete records and for further development, including obtaining SSA disability benefits records and VR & C files.
