The VA Rating Decision, dated 14 February 2009, indicates the applicant's PTSD was not incurred in or caused by military service and, therefore, was not considered to be service connected. The VA Rating Decision, dated 5 November 2010, indicates the applicant was granted service connection for PTSD rated at 30-percent disabling. The available evidence clearly shows the applicant's requests for CRSC were denied because the available evidence failed to show his medical conditions were...
