Denied
The Board denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, finding no current disability and insufficient evidence of an in-service event or exposure.
The deciding factor: The lack of a current diagnosis and the absence of credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service events occurred led to the denial of both claims.
