The Board denied service connection for a personality disorder and remanded claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing the appellant had a current disability of a personality disorder during or recent to the filing of the claim, and there is no evidence that any superimposed disease or injury aggravated a pre-existing condition. The claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder and OSA were remanded due to duty-to-assist errors.
