Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for schizophrenia, as there is no current diagnosis of the condition and it was not shown to be related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran has a current diagnosis of schizophrenia or that any symptoms he reports are due to a psychiatric disorder other than his already service-connected PTSD with alcohol use disorder.
