PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board found no evidence of PTSD due to service or any incident in service, and denied the claim for service connection.

The Board has determined that the veteran's schizophrenia is likely due to a condition first manifest during service, and thus grants service connection for this disability.

The veteran's PTSD results in considerable industrial and social impairment, but not to the extent that would warrant a higher evaluation.

The veteran's PTSD is rated at 70% disabling since August 28, 1996. The claim for an earlier effective date for TDIU is dismissed as moot.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development due to a need to comply with notification and assistance provisions of the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000.

The Board has determined that additional development is needed to determine the nature, extent and etiology of any neuropsychiatric disability, including PTSD. This includes obtaining service medical records, personnel records, and verifying stressors.

The Board has dismissed the appeal for an increased rating for the service-connected residuals of a gunshot wound to the right shoulder as the veteran withdrew his appeal in January 1998. The issues of entitlement to initial disability ratings for PTSD and total disability based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities are currently before the Board.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development due to procedural issues and potential evidence that may affect the outcome of the service connection claim.

The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including psychiatric disorders, eye problems, back issues, knee disabilities, hypertension, and a cerebrovascular accident. The decision also addressed bilateral pes planus and seizure disorder.

The Board found that the veteran's PTSD is service-connected due to a personal assault during service, resolving all doubts in his favor.

The Board has granted service connection for PTSD and assigned a 50 percent evaluation, resolving the benefit of doubt in favor of the veteran.

The Board has granted a 100 percent rating for the veteran's PTSD, effective from October 7, 1998. The issue of entitlement to Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) is dismissed as moot due to the grant of a 100 percent schedular evaluation.

The Board has granted service connection for arthritis of the right hand and found that it is directly related to a service-connected injury. The veteran's PTSD claim remains pending, as does his request for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for arthritis of the right wrist.

The Board has granted service connection for PTSD based on verified in-service stressors. The heart condition claim is remanded to the RO for further consideration.

The veteran's appeal for service connection for PTSD and residuals of a left shoulder fracture was dismissed as untimely.

The Board of Veterans' Appeals found that the evidence did not support a diagnosis of PTSD and denied the veteran's claim for service connection.

The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the claim of service connection for PTSD. The appellant's service in Vietnam, including combat experiences, is considered relevant to his PTSD.

The VA denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD.

The Board has determined that the veteran's case requires further development due to incomplete notification of the VCAA, and issues related to the creation of an overpayment need clarification. The PTSD claim also needs additional evidence regarding alleged stressors.

The Board has remanded the case for scheduling a Travel Board hearing. The veteran's appeal includes claims for various conditions and surgeries, but no specific service connection theory is provided.
