The Board has granted the veteran's claims for service connection for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and arthritis of the knees, finding that these conditions are likely due to or aggravated by his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: Service connection is granted based on the likelihood that the veteran's current conditions are caused or aggravated by his service-connected frontal meningioma and seizure disorder, as well as his service-connected back disability.
