The Board of Veterans' Appeals has determined that the veteran does not have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and therefore denied the claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no evidence to support a diagnosis of PTSD in the veteran's case, based on his examination and review of medical records.
