The veteran has been granted service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder, which is considered a direct result of his active military service.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as there was no credible supporting evidence to verify the claimed in-service stressors.

The appeal for PTSD was dismissed. Service connection for dry eye syndrome, secondary to service-connected bilateral pinguecula, is granted. The claims of entitlement to a compensable disability rating for residuals of cholecystectomy, service connection for irritable bowel syndrome, hypertension, erectile dysfunction, and headaches are remanded.

The Board has remanded the case due to new evidence received, need for additional VA examination, and need to verify stressors. The veteran's claim of service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder is on appeal.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including post-traumatic stress disorder, finding no current diagnosis of PTSD and insufficient evidence to establish a causal link between his anxiety disorder and military service.
