Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD because the evidence did not support a diagnosis of PTSD separate from the veteran's already service-connected bipolar disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively favors that the veteran does not have a diagnosed psychiatric disability other than his already-service connected Bipolar Disorder.
