PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The veteran is entitled to an effective date of September 13, 1991 for a 100% disability evaluation for his service-connected PTSD.

The VA denied a higher evaluation for PTSD, finding that the disability has not resulted in more than considerable social and industrial impairment.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded to the RO for initial consideration of the additional evidence developed by the Board. The issues on appeal are service connection for PTSD and compensation for additional disability related to reproductive problems and hysterectomy as a result of VA medical treatment, including any failure to diagnose or treat a disorder under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD, respiratory disability, bleeding in the stomach, subdural hematoma, fatigue, headaches, and chronic disorders of the wrists, ankles, neck, elbows, and knees due to an undiagnosed illness. The denial is based on a lack of credible supporting evidence that the claimed stressors actually occurred.

The Board restored the veteran's 100 percent rating for post-traumatic stress disorder, finding that there was no improvement in his condition and thus warranting restoration.

The Board has determined that new and material evidence was submitted to reopen the claim of service connection for PTSD. The case is now remanded for further development.

The Board has reopened the claim for service connection for PTSD and finds that new and material evidence has been submitted. The veteran's claims are granted as his PTSD is related to stressful experiences in service.

The Board found no evidence of an in-service stressor for PTSD and denied the veteran's claim.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including a left eye disorder, right eye disorder, acquired psychiatric disorder (PTSD), right hip disorder, and residuals of a right fibula fracture. The decision also addressed his claim for an increased disability rating for service-connected disabilities and whether he was entitled to a total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.

The Board found that the veteran's PTSD does not warrant a rating in excess of 30 percent, and thus denied his claim for an increased rating. The TDIU issue was also denied as the veteran's service-connected disabilities do not prevent him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.

The veteran's service-connected PTSD is rated at 50 percent, reflecting significant occupational and social impairment.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD is due to his in-service combat-related stressors and grants service connection for PTSD.

The Board has remanded the case due to new evidence added since the SOC was issued, and the appellant is required to take no action unless otherwise notified.

The veteran's service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder is manifested by symptoms of anger, depression, flashbacks, and social isolation, resulting in total impairment of social and industrial adaptability. The Board has determined that the criteria for a 100 percent rating have been met.

The veteran's PTSD has resulted in total occupational and social impairment, warranting a 100 percent evaluation.

The Board found that the veteran does not have a current diagnosed left knee disorder and denied his claim for service connection on the basis of direct service connection.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD is attributable to incidents of service and grants service connection for this condition.

The Board denied increased evaluation for right knee disability and service connection for acquired psychiatric disability including PTSD, as well as service connection for back disability.

The veteran's PTSD is currently manifested by total occupational impairment and has been granted a 100 percent evaluation.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded to the RO for scheduling a Travel Board hearing and then returning the case for further consideration.
