Denied
The Board denied service connection for PTSD and a higher disability rating for lumbar strain, as well as service connection for eczema and a right hip condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show the appellant had a current diagnosis of PTSD or that her lumbar strain warranted a higher rating. The appellant's symptoms were attributed to her already service-connected primary insomnia disorder.
