The Board has determined that new and material evidence has not been submitted to reopen the veteran's claim of entitlement to service connection for a seizure disorder. The claim remains denied.
The deciding factor: New evidence, while providing more details about the veteran's history of seizures, does not establish whether they were present during or aggravated by service.
