Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as there was no current diagnosis of PTSD.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examination determined that the Veteran did not meet the criterion for a diagnosis of PTSD in accordance with the DSM-V, and other evidence also failed to support a diagnosis of PTSD.
