The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current diagnosis of a nervous disorder, but he was granted service connection for a genitourinary disorder based on direct evidence showing it is related to his military service.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence linking the veteran's current psychiatric disorders to his military service. However, there is sufficient medical evidence linking his current genitourinary disorder to his military service.
