Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to insufficient evidence of a current diagnosis and no credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service stressor occurred. The claim for left lung condition was remanded for further examination under the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms do not meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, and there is insufficient evidence linking his left lung condition to service exposure or any other in-service event.
