The Board denied service connection for residuals of a head injury and did not find new and material evidence to reopen claims for personality disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence of residuals of a head injury or its relationship to service. The veteran's claims for personality disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder were denied as there was no diagnosis provided in the records.
