Abstract
This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulations concerning the type of evidence required to establish service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This amendment implements a decision by the United States Court of Veterans Appeals (the Court) which stated that current regulations do not adequately reflect the governing statute.
