Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder and dismissed the appeal for compensation for right lower extremity radiculopathy, while remanding the claim for left calf atrophy.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of PTSD, and the issue of right lower extremity radiculopathy was deferred in the July 2025 rating decision. The Board found that an examination was necessary to determine if the left calf atrophy is secondary to service-connected disabilities.
