The Board has determined that the veteran's claims for service connection for enuresis, staphylococcus infection, cellulitis, and dysthymic disorder (claimed as a nervous breakdown) are not well grounded.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish a link between any of these conditions and the veteran's period of active duty service.

- Denied

- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected dysthymic disorder, anxiety disorder, borderline intellectual functioning, and dyslexia have prevented him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection due to a failure by the VA contractor to provide an examination at a time when the Veteran could attend.
- Partly granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 70 percent for dysthymic disorder and a total rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disability, effective July 31, 2008.
