PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board has determined that there is insufficient evidence to substantiate the veteran's claimed in-service stressor, and therefore service connection for PTSD cannot be granted.

The veteran is seeking an earlier effective date for a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD, which was previously rated at 30 percent. The case has been remanded due to procedural issues related to the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000.

The veteran's PTSD was granted a 70 percent evaluation effective November 23, 2001. TDIU benefits were also granted effective that date.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded to the RO for additional development, including obtaining medical records and scheduling examinations. The claims will be reconsidered based on the new evidence.

The Board found that the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD was not well grounded and denied it on the merits.

The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been presented to reopen the claim for service connection for PTSD, which was previously denied in August 2001. The veteran's statements regarding his service stressors have been considered, along with VA treatment records and other supporting documents.

The Board has remanded the case to the RO for further development and readjudication due to concerns about the impact of GAF scores on PTSD, and potential anemia affecting duodenal ulcer disease with hiatal hernia.

The veteran's PTSD was granted service connection, but his gastroenteritis and headaches were denied as the evaluations are already at their maximum under VA rating criteria.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development due to errors in the search for records confirming a claimed in-service stressor and because of newly submitted evidence.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded for further assistance to verify his service stressors and determine if he has PTSD related to documented in-service events.

The Board has determined that the veteran's service connection claim for PTSD should be remanded to allow for further development of his reported in-service stressors.

The Board granted service connection for PTSD and assigned a 100% evaluation effective from April 2000. The veteran withdrew his appeals concerning the other issues on appeal.

The VA has determined that the veteran's PTSD does not warrant a higher disability rating, as it currently results in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.

The Board has granted service connection for residuals of cold injury to the feet and found that the veteran's PTSD is related to his combat service. The issue of an increased evaluation for PTSD remains pending.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD and depression, finding that there was no evidence linking these conditions to his military service.
