PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD, finding that there was no verified in-service stressor and thus no link between current symptoms and a confirmed stressor.

The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining records related to a court martial and seeking SSA medical records. A new VA psychiatric examination is also required.

The veteran's PTSD with panic and anxiety disorder was initially granted, but the RO increased his evaluation from 30 to 50 percent. The case is being remanded for further examination and consideration of staged ratings.

The Board found that there is no evidence of verified in-service stressors for PTSD, and the veteran's depressive disorder did not have its onset during service or be related to his service-connected migraine headaches. Therefore, service connection was denied.

The Board has determined that additional evidence is needed to determine if the appellant's PTSD is related to events during his military service. The claim will be remanded for further development.

The Board dismissed the veteran's appeal because a timely Notice of Disagreement (NOD) was not filed within one year from August 6, 1999 regarding the effective date for the grant of service connection for PTSD.

The Board has determined that the veteran is entitled to service connection for PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder, both of which are found to be related to his combat experiences in Korea.

The Board has determined that further action is needed to process the veteran's claims for an increased rating for PTSD and a TDIU rating, including obtaining additional medical records and clarifying the veteran's desire for a hearing.

The Board has determined that additional development is needed before the claims can be fully adjudicated. This includes obtaining medical records, arranging for a VA examination to assess PTSD, and ensuring compliance with all requested development.

The VA determined that the veteran's PTSD warrants a 70 percent evaluation, reflecting significant occupational and social impairment.

The veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD is remanded due to the need for additional VA examination and review of all relevant evidence.

The veteran's PTSD was incurred in service and granted.

The Board denied service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, finding no evidence of a current disability or a link to service.

The Board of Veterans' Appeals has determined that the veteran does not have PTSD and therefore, service connection for PTSD is denied.

The Board has remanded the case due to the need for compliance with VCAA provisions, including obtaining additional evidence and providing proper notification.

The veteran's PTSD was found to be incurred during his active military service, and the Board granted service connection for this condition.

The Board found that the veteran does not currently suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and thus denied his claim of service connection for this condition.

The Board found that new and material evidence has not been received to reopen the claim for service connection for PTSD. The veteran's previous denial of PTSD was final, but he submitted additional VA treatment records which were deemed insufficient to reopen the case.

The Board determined that the grant of service connection for PTSD and entitlement to Total Disability Rating Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) was clearly and unmistakably erroneous due to the veteran not having qualifying Federal service at the time of the stressor. As a result, the RO properly severed service connection for PTSD and TDIU.

The veteran's PTSD and skin disability were denied increased ratings. The PTSD was rated at 30 percent, while the skin disability was rated at 10 percent.
