Denied
The Board denied service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a personality disorder due to the lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis of PTSD and the presence of a diagnosed personality disorder that is not subject to service connection.
The deciding factor: The most probative and competent evidence did not show a diagnosis of PTSD pursuant to the DSM-5 during or recent to the review period, and a personality disorder was the only DSM-5 diagnosis provided, which is not subject to service connection.
