Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for schizophrenia, finding that clear and unmistakable evidence showed the condition preexisted service and was not aggravated by it.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's schizophrenia clearly and unmistakably preexisted service and did not increase in severity during active service.
