The Board granted service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and denied service connection for bipolar disorder. The claim for migraines was remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection for PTSD was granted due to a current diagnosis related to in-service personal assault, while bipolar disorder was denied as there is no current diagnosis of the condition during the pendency of the claim or recent to its filing. Migraines were remanded for further development.
