The Board found that the July 1969 rating decision did not involve clear and unmistakable error in denying service connection for a schizophrenic reaction, paranoid type. The RO correctly applied the regulations concerning the presumption of soundness and the presumption of aggravation.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the veteran had a psychiatric disorder prior to service entrance and was not aggravated by service.
