Denied
The Board denied service connection for PTSD because there is no competent evidence of a diagnosis of PTSD. The Veteran's alcohol use disorder cannot be the basis for compensation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a current medical diagnosis of PTSD and the inability to establish a causal relationship between any in-service stressor and current symptomatology.
