The VA determined that the veteran does not have an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, of service origin and found no chronic respiratory disorder was manifested in service or within the requisite presumptive period thereafter.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of service connection for either an acquired psychiatric disorder (including PTSD) or a chronic respiratory disorder.
