The Board has determined that the veteran does not have an acquired psychiatric disorder related to his service and therefore denied both claims of service connection for PTSD and a TDIU.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a chronic acquired psychiatric disorder in service, continuity of symptomatology, or any incident in service to which the current condition can be attributed.
