Decision List No. 105 Personnel Security Personnel Security Hearing, 9/30/98, VSO-0204 A Hearing Officer issued an Opinion regarding the eligibility of an individual to maintain an access authorization under the provisions of 10 C.F.R. Part 710. The Hearing Officer found that the respondent did not have a personality disorder as diagnosed by a psychiatrist because the psychiatrist stated that it was a close case and had based his diagnosis upon some incorrect information. The Hearing Officer also found, however, that the respondent had not provided convincing evidence to contradict the psychiatrist's diagnosis that he suffered from alcohol abuse. Under these circumstances, the Hearing Officer found that the respondent's access authorization should not be reinstated. Personnel Security Hearing, 10/1/98, VSO-0205 After reviewing the record concerning the individual's rehabilitation from his bipolar-two mental condition, an OHA hearing officer issued an Opinion recommending that the individual's access authorization not be restored.
