Denied
The Board denied service connection for PTSD and an evaluation higher than 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected GAD with insomnia due to a lack of competent evidence supporting a diagnosis of PTSD during the review period and insufficient symptoms to warrant a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found no competent medical evidence supporting a diagnosis of PTSD, and the Veteran's psychiatric symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under the applicable regulations.
