The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disorder other than PTSD, to include neurocognitive disorder and psychotic disorder, as secondary to the service-connected disabilities. However, it denied service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence supported the finding that the Veteran's neurocognitive disorder and psychotic disorder are due to his service-connected disabilities, but there was no current diagnosis of PTSD.
