Denied
The Board denied service connection for PTSD and any other mental disorder, to include mild major vascular neurocognitive disorder and persistent adjustment disorder. The claims were not supported by a current diagnosis of PTSD or a nexus between the Veteran's current mental disorders and his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran did not meet the DSM-5 criteria for PTSD and there was no evidence to support a connection between the Veteran's current mental disorders and his military service.
