The Board found that the veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including mixed neurosis, is not well grounded due to lack of medical evidence linking his current condition to his military service.
The deciding factor: There was no competent medical evidence showing a current diagnosis or a nexus between the veteran's claimed conditions and his military service.
