Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include a personality disorder, as there is no evidence of a current disability and the appellant's avoidant personality disorder was not considered a disability for VA compensation purposes.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a superimposed disease or injury during service, and the record does not reflect any acquired psychiatric disorder diagnosis on which service connection may be granted as a superimposed disease or injury.
