The Board denied service connection for a psychiatric disorder and found no new and material evidence to reopen the claim of Klinefelter's syndrome with impotence. The veteran was diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder, but this is not considered a chronic condition that began during or as a result of his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that there was insufficient evidence to establish a direct connection between the veteran's current psychiatric diagnosis and his active duty service.
