The Board has determined that new and material evidence was not received to reopen the claim of service connection for residuals of head trauma, including a seizure disorder and dizziness. The issue of entitlement to an increased evaluation for a healed left lung granuloma will be addressed in a separate decision.
The deciding factor: New evidence submitted since the final denial did not provide a new factual basis to warrant reconsideration of the prior denial of service connection for a seizure disorder, but it is unclear if dizziness was related to service or not.
