Denied
The Board denied service connection for emotional stressed diagnosed as 'suicidal' and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to a lack of evidence showing a current disability, in-service incurrence or aggravation, and a causal relationship between the claimed conditions and active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current mental health condition, in-service events, or a link between the claimed conditions and active service.
