The Board has determined that there is no medical evidence to establish PTSD, and thus denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD. The issue of hepatitis C remains pending as it was not addressed in this decision.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence diagnosing PTSD in accordance with VA regulations.
