The Board has determined that the veteran's current nervous condition is not related to service or a service-connected disability, and thus denied his claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence linking the veteran's current nervous condition with service or any service-connected disability.

The Board remanded the case for the RO to determine whether service personnel records received in March and April 1997 were newly added and relevant, and if so, whether reconsideration of the October 1996 claim for service connection for a psychiatric disorder is warranted under 38 C.F.R. § 3.156(c).
