United States Federal Circuit

In a case in which a veteran made a claim for service connection for a psychiatric disorder, a denial by the Board of Veterans' Appeals is affirmed, where: 1) under 38 CFR section 3.303(c) the disorder was not a compensable injury or disease; and 2) the Board did not commit clear and unmistakable error when it denied the claim for service connection without applying the presumption of 38 USC section 1111 that the claimant was sound before entering service.
