The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a neuropsychiatric disorder related to his active service or secondary to his service-connected renal disability. The claim for an increased evaluation for nephrolithiasis is also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding of a direct relationship between the veteran's current neuropsychiatric disorder and his military service, nor can it be established that this condition is secondary to his service-connected renal disability.
