21-1960, Dwight B. Bryant v. Denis McDonough

Mar 23, 2021

OUTCOME: Win - Achieved remand for PTSD service connection.

On appeal was the Veteran’s entitlement to service connection for PTSD. The argument centered on how the Board erred as a matter of law by misinterpreting 38 C.F.R. § 3.304(f)(3) to mean that the board ... is without authority to consider a private medical opinion, including a Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ), when determining whether a veteran has a valid diagnosis for PTSD. When the private evidence was considered, it was clear that the evidence was in equipoise, and as a result the Veteran should have been given the benefit of the doubt or the case should have been remanded for another VA exam.
