Denied
The Board denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and remanded the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder, other than PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a current diagnosis of PTSD, which is necessary to establish service connection. Additionally, there is no clear indication that any acquired psychiatric disorder preexisted or was aggravated by military service.
