PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board found no evidence of current PTSD or other psychiatric disorder and denied the claim for service connection.

The veteran's PTSD is currently evaluated at 30 percent disabling, and the Board found that his symptoms do not warrant a higher rating.

The veteran's appeals regarding the reduction of his osteomyelitis rating and the assignment of a higher disability rating for his low back disorder were denied. The claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for PTSD was also denied.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining corroborating evidence of noncombat-related stressors and arranging for a VA psychiatric examination.

The veteran's PTSD is rated at 70 percent, effective January 21, 1998. The claim for TDIU due to service-connected PTSD is granted.

The Board found that the veteran does not have PTSD and her ulcerative colitis is unrelated to service. The appeal was denied as there was no evidence of a valid stressor for PTSD, and the connection between PTSD and ulcerative colitis was also not established.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD is related to an in-service sexual assault and grants service connection for this condition.
