PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board has granted the veteran's claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder, finding that his current PTSD symptoms are related to his active service in the Persian Gulf War.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD, finding that his claimed in-service stressful experiences had not been corroborated by service records or other credible evidence.

The Board has determined that the veteran's service connection claim for PTSD is granted, based on credible supporting evidence of in-service stressors and a current diagnosis of PTSD.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for an effective date earlier than April 22, 2003 for a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD. The decision found that entitlement to this rating was not factually ascertainable within one year before the April 22, 2003 claim.

The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date than February 26, 2001, for the grant of a total disability rating due to individual unemployability is denied.

The veteran's service-connected PTSD results in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, warranting a 50 percent disability evaluation.

The veteran was granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities effective October 14, 1998.

The VA denied the veteran's claim for an increased rating for PTSD, currently evaluated as 70 percent disabling.

The veteran's PTSD is rated at a 70% disability rating effective from November 28, 1994. A TDIU rating due to service-connected disability was also granted effective from July 11, 1996.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded for further development and consideration of his claims for PTSD evaluations.

The VA denied the veteran's claim for a higher disability rating for PTSD, currently evaluated at 50 percent.

The Board has determined that the appellant's PTSD warrants a 50 percent evaluation, as his symptoms align with criteria for this rating. The lung disorder and other issues are pending further development.

The Board has reopened the veteran's claim of service connection for PTSD due to new and material evidence submitted since the August 1994 rating decision.

The Board has found new and material evidence sufficient to reopen the claim for service connection of PTSD, which was previously denied in November 1984. The veteran's psychologist provided a diagnosis of PTSD based on his combat experiences during active duty in Vietnam.

The Board of Veterans' Appeals has determined that the veteran incurred PTSD as a result of active military service and grants the claim for service connection.

The veteran's PTSD results in total occupational impairment, and the Board has granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD. However, because a 100 percent rating is already assigned, the claim of TDIU cannot be considered.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD warrants a 70 percent disability rating, reflecting total occupational and social impairment.

The veteran is entitled to a total disability evaluation for PTSD from June 7, 2000.

The veteran's appeal for service connection for PTSD has been dismissed due to the death of the veteran during the pendency of the appeal.

The Board found that the veteran did not engage in combat and her claim for PTSD was denied as there is no credible supporting evidence of a claimed in-service stressor related to service.
