The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a neurobehavioral disorder, finding no current diagnosis of such condition and thus no basis to grant service connection.
The deciding factor: There is no current medical evidence showing a diagnosis of a neurobehavioral disorder in the Veteran's records during the appeal period.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
