Denied
The Board denied service connection for PTSD and a rating in excess of 30 percent for tension headaches with photophobia, as the evidence did not support a current diagnosis of PTSD or frequent prostrating attacks that were productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The lack of a current diagnosis of PTSD and the absence of evidence showing characteristic prostrating attacks that are productive of severe economic inadaptability led to the denial of both claims.
