The Board of Veterans' Appeals found that the veteran does not have an organic mental disorder related to service or any incident therein, and thus denied his claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a direct relationship between the veteran's current condition and his military service.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
What you can do next

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Whole decision: Granted
The Board has determined that the earliest effective date for TDIU is August 28, 2009, based on the Veteran's service-connected disabilities preventing him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment since then.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Board denied improved death pension benefits as the evidence does not demonstrate that the Appellant was permanently incapable of self-support prior to the age of 18.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Veteran's claims for bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, hypertension, back disability, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, prostate disability, diabetes mellitus, type II, headaches, and organic mental disorder have all been denied. The Board found that there was no evidence of a nexus between the Veteran's current conditions and his active service.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to an inextricably intertwined claim for TDIU, and the Veteran submitted a VA Form 9 indicating disagreement with the denial of this claim. The case is now returned to the RO for issuance of a Statement of the Case.
