Denied
The Board denied service connection for PTSD and incontinence, finding no current diagnosis of PTSD and no evidence linking the incontinence to military service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet diagnostic criteria for PTSD or any mental health condition under the DSM-V, and the evidence was persuasively against a finding that the Veteran's incontinence is due to her service.
