Partly grantedPACT Act
The veteran's claim for PTSD was denied. Service connection for Parkinson's disease with loss of balance and urinary problems was granted on a presumptive basis due to Camp Lejeune exposure. The claim for hearing loss was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the veteran's presumed exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune and the lack of a current diagnosis for PTSD.
