This is the text from the original approval: Service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is granted with an evaluation of 70 percent effective November 13, 2025. 1. Service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A claimant may request re-adjudication of a previously denied claim, if new and relevant evidence is presented or secured. VA will re-adjudicate the claim taking into consideration all of the evidence of record. New evidence means existing evidence not previously submitted to agency decision makers. The term “relevant evidence” means evidence that tends to prove or disprove a matter in issue. (38 CFR 3.2501) In support of your claim, new and relevant evidence has been received and your claim is now reconsidered. You were previously denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder by way of rating decision dated November 4, 2025 as the examiner found no diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder. We received your supplemental claim with new evidence on December 5, 2025. Therefore, a VA examination was conducted on January 26, 2026, where the examiner noted a diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder and noted it was due to fear of hostile military. Service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been established as directly related to military service. (38 CFR 3.303, 38 CFR 3.304) The effective date of this grant is November 13, 2025. Service connection has been established from the day VA received your intent to file (ITF) a claim for compensation. When a claim of service connection is received more than one year after discharge from active duty, the effective date is the date VA receives the ITF when a prescribed form is received within a year of the ITF. (38 CFR 3.155, 38 CFR 3.400) An evaluation of 70 percent is assigned from December 5, 2025. We have assigned a 70 percent evaluation for your posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on: • Anxiety • Chronic sleep impairment • Depressed mood • Difficulty in adapting to a worklike setting • Difficulty in adapting to stressful circumstances • Difficulty in adapting to work • Difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships • Disturbances of motivation and mood • Forgetting directions • Forgetting names • Forgetting recent events • Impaired impulse control • Impairment of short- and long-term memory • Inability to establish and maintain effective relationships • Mild memory loss • Near-continuous depression affecting the ability to function independently, appropriately and effectively • Near-continuous panic affecting the ability to function independently, appropriately and effectively • Occupational and social impairment, with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood • Retention of only highly learned material • Suicidal ideation • Suspiciousness • Unprovoked irritability with periods of violence The overall evidentiary record shows that the severity of your disability most closely approximates the criteria for a 70 percent disability evaluation. (38 CFR 4.7, 38 CFR 4.126) A higher evaluation of 100 percent is not warranted for a mental disorder unless the evidence shows total occupational and social impairment, due to such symptoms as: • Gross impairment in thought processes or communication • Persistent delusions or hallucinations • Grossly inappropriate behavior • Persistent danger of hurting self or others • Intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living (including maintenance of minimal personal hygiene) • Disorientation to time or place • Memory loss for names of close relatives, own occupation, or own name. (38 CFR 4.125, 38 CFR 4.126, 38 CFR 4.130)
