Denied
The Board denied service connection for anxiety (claimed as PTSD) and depression due to the lack of a current diagnosis, and remanded claims for hypertension and insomnia due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a current diagnosis of anxiety, PTSD or depression. The VA examiner found no link between the Veteran's in-service exposure to Camp Lejeune contaminated water and his claimed conditions.
