Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include depression, and kidney disease. The claimant was also denied special monthly compensation based on the need for aid and attendance or housebound status.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a nexus between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service, and he failed to report for necessary examinations without good cause.
