The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD and an initial compensable rating for ED and circumcision with residual painful scar tissue, and remanded the claim for service connection for lumbosacral strain.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of PTSD or a current disability related to the claimed in-service events. The Veteran's symptoms were not found to be compensable under the rating criteria, and there was insufficient evidence to establish a nexus between the claimed conditions and service for lumbosacral strain.
