Denied
The Board denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the evidence does not support a current diagnosis of PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran has had PTSD at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim, and the VA examiner's report indicates that the Veteran's symptoms do not meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD under the DSM-5 criteria.
