Denied
The Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder was denied due to his failure to appear for a scheduled examination without good cause.
The deciding factor: The claim was denied because the Veteran failed to provide a reason for not appearing for the examination, and there is no evidence of good cause for the absence.
