Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a psychiatric condition, including schizoaffective disorder, as there is no evidence that the condition had its onset during service or was related to service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is against the Veteran's claim. There is no indication that any psychiatric disorder has been caused by any specific event such as an in-service injury or exposure.
