The Board has remanded the case due to new evidence submitted by the veteran and additional development needed. The claim will be re-adjudicated, and if reopened, it will determine whether there is new and material evidence for service connection of a seizure disorder.
The deciding factor: New evidence was submitted by the veteran, necessitating further review and potential reopening of the claim.
