The Board has granted service connection for a seizure disorder and denied an increased rating for left knee arthritis. The veteran's seizures are linked to his inservice motor vehicle accident, while the left knee arthritis is currently rated at 10%.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established based on medical evidence linking the current condition to the inservice injury. For the left knee arthritis, the criteria for a higher rating were not met as there was no objective evidence of limitation of motion or extension beyond normal limits.
