Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) due to a lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis and a link between the condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence of a current OCD disability, and medical professionals have repeatedly ruled out an OCD diagnosis despite recognizing some obsessional traits or rigid behaviors in the Veteran's record.
