PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The veteran's appeal includes claims for increased disability ratings and service connection for various conditions, including PTSD, skin disorders, hypertension, foot disorders, pseudofolliculitis barbae, and respiratory disorder. The RO has not provided proper VCAA notice and the case is being remanded to ensure compliance with the law.

The Board has granted service connection for hypertension as secondary to PTSD and has determined that the effective date of this grant is December 13, 1982, which was the date of receipt of the veteran's original claim.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded to the RO for further development and notification, including compliance with the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 (VCAA).

The Board has remanded the case for additional development of evidence, including Vet Center records and a current psychiatric examination to determine the extent of the veteran's PTSD disability.

The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the claim of service connection for a psychiatric disorder, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete information regarding the appellant's service and stressors, requiring further examination by a VA psychiatrist.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including PTSD, low back condition, head injury residuals, COPD, and injuries to neck, feet, and legs. The evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred or aggravated by military service.

The veteran is seeking an increased disability evaluation for her service-connected PTSD, currently rated at 50 percent. The Board has determined that additional development is necessary to properly evaluate the severity of her condition.

The veteran's claim for an increased evaluation of his PTSD is being remanded due to the need for additional development, including a VA psychiatric examination and obtaining medical records.

The Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) has determined that the veteran does not have PTSD, seasonal affective disorder, or fibroid tumors which are linked to her military service. Therefore, the claims for these conditions were denied.

The veteran's appeal is remanded for additional development due to the VCAA and related legal requirements.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding whether the veteran's migraine headaches are related to her service-connected PTSD. The claim for an increased rating for PTSD is also being remanded.

The Board has granted earlier effective dates of June 20, 1994 for both service connection and compensation for PTSD, as well as for a TDIU rating.

The Board has remanded the claims for increased ratings for PTSD and lumbosacral strain, as well as the claim for TDIU due to inadequate reasons and bases in the December 2002 decision.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD, headaches, and sensitivity to light are all related to his service in July 1983 when he was assaulted. The VA has granted service connection for these conditions.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The appeal is based on a direct theory of service connection, without any indication of a presumption or secondary relationship to a previously service-connected condition.

The veteran's initial claim for PTSD was granted with a 10 percent rating effective January 26, 1995. The RO later increased the rating to 30 percent before August 23, 2001 and to 70 percent after that date.

The Board has determined that the veteran's post-traumatic stress disorder is a result of his experiences in the Gulf War, and service connection for this condition is granted.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for hepatitis C and an increased rating for PTSD, finding that there was insufficient evidence to support a claim of service connection for hepatitis C and that the current evidence did not meet the criteria for a higher rating for PTSD.

The Board of Veterans' Appeals has determined that the veteran does not have PTSD as a result of his military service and therefore denied the claim for service connection.
