The veteran's claims for service connection for chloracne, memory loss, keratosis pilaris (KP), and residuals of a left foot injury were denied. However, the claim for PTSD was granted based on verified in-service stressors.
The deciding factor: PTSD is shown to have resulted from verified in-service stressors, while other conditions are not supported by evidence or do not meet the criteria for service connection.
