The Veteran's claim for service connection for a psychiatric disability other than PTSD, schizophrenia or inadequate personality with depressive reaction was denied. The Board found that new and material evidence had not been received to reopen the claim. Service connection for PTSD, CTS of the right wrist, and CTS of the left wrist were also denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for service connection for a psychiatric disability other than PTSD was denied as no new and material evidence had been submitted to reopen the claim. The Board found that there was insufficient evidence to establish service connection for PTSD, CTS of the right wrist, or CTS of the left wrist.
