Granted
The Board granted service connection for schizophrenia, paranoid type based on the evidence showing that the condition pre-existed service but was not aggravated by it.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no clear and unmistakable evidence that the Veteran's schizophrenia was aggravated during his military service, thus converting the case to a direct service connection claim which was satisfied given the current diagnosis and in-service treatment for schizophrenia.
