Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a mental health disorder, as there was no persuasive evidence of a current diagnosis in accordance with DSM-5 criteria.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the medical evidence did not support a current diagnosis of a mental health disorder and thus denied the claim based on the lack of sufficient evidence to establish service connection.
