PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board denied the claim as the evidence does not support a finding that the veteran's drug overdose was caused or aggravated by his service-connected PTSD.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for hepatitis C, history of pneumonia, hearing loss, and PTSD due to a lack of well-grounded evidence.

The veteran's appeal has been dismissed due to his death.

The Board found that the veteran did not have a 'clear diagnosis' of PTSD and thus denied his claim for service connection.

The veteran's PTSD has been determined to cause total occupational and social impairment, warranting a 100 percent disability rating effective from December 3, 1999.

The VA has determined that the veteran's PTSD does not warrant a rating in excess of 30 percent, as his symptoms do not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation under Diagnostic Code 9411.

The veteran is seeking an increased disability rating for his service-connected anxiety reaction and PTSD. The Board has ordered a new VA examination to assess the severity of these conditions.

The Board found that the veteran's PTSD is well grounded and granted service connection for PTSD based on new evidence.

The Board denied the veteran's claims of service connection for degenerative joint disease with spondylolisthesis, a skin disorder including fatty tumors secondary to exposure to herbicides, and PTSD. The evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to his military service.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased evaluation for his service-connected psychiatric disability and a retroactive effective date for TDIU. The veteran's claim for an increased rating was based on severe impairment, while the TDIU claim was denied due to lack of evidence showing unemployability prior to July 8, 1991.

The veteran's claim for PTSD was granted with a 50% rating effective from December 12, 1996. The Board found that the July 1981 and February 1985 decisions denying service connection were due to CUE (clear and unmistakable error) because they did not consider the veteran's combat service in Vietnam.

The veteran's claim for PTSD was granted. The claim for left knee disability, secondary to service-connected low back disability, is not well-grounded. The claim for an increased evaluation of the low back disability remains denied.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD, finding that there was no verified stressor related to his service in Vietnam.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to a lack of verified stressors and participation in combat, leading to a denial.

The Board denied an initial evaluation in excess of 70 percent for the veteran's service-connected psychiatric disorder, finding that his symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.

The veteran's PTSD is rated at 70% disabling according to the schedular criteria.

The Board has determined that the veteran's claims for service connection are not well grounded. The evidence does not support a finding of current disabilities related to his military service, and there is no medical nexus linking any diagnosed conditions to his service.

The veteran's PTSD is currently rated at 10 percent, and the Board has determined that a higher rating of 30 percent is warranted based on his symptoms.

The veteran's PTSD is productive of flattened affect, memory impairment, and disturbances of motivation and mood that cause difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships. The VA Board has determined that the disability picture more nearly approximates a 50 percent rating for PTSD.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for secondary service connection for a dental disorder and an increased rating for PTSD, finding that his claim for secondary service connection was not well-grounded. The decision also noted that his PTSD did not result in significant impairment of social or industrial functioning.
