Denied
The veteran does not have a diagnosed condition of PTSD, nor any other service-connected disabilities as claimed. The Board finds that the evidence does not support the claims for service connection.
The deciding factor: There is no medical diagnosis of PTSD or any other service-connected disability in the record and the veteran's statements are insufficient to establish these conditions.
