The Board has reopened the Veteran's claim for service connection for a chronic psychiatric disability other than PTSD, but denied his claim for service connection for PTSD. The decision is mixed as some issues were granted and others not.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was submitted to reopen the Veteran's previously denied claim of service connection for a chronic psychiatric disability other than PTSD, but there was insufficient evidence to establish service connection for PTSD.
