Partly granted
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to a lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis, and remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder as secondary to his service-connected exercise induced asthma.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of a current PTSD diagnosis in accordance with DSM-5 criteria.
