The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability other than PTSD and an eating disorder, as well as an increased rating for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran has a diagnosed psychiatric disability or eating disorder consistent with the DSM-5 other than her already-service connected PTSD. The Veteran is currently being compensated for all of her psychiatric symptomatology, including her report of decreased appetite followed by overeating.
