The Board has determined that the veteran's claimed psychiatric disorder, residuals of a head injury, and residuals of a neck injury are not related to his active service. The evidence does not support a finding that any current disabilities were incurred or aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence linking the veteran's current psychiatric disorder, residuals of a head injury, or residuals of a neck injury to an incident of his military service.
