The Board has determined that the veteran's seizure/neurological disorder was not incurred in or aggravated by active service, may not be presumed to have been incurred in active service, and is not proximately due to or the result of a service-connected disability. Additionally, there is no established entitlement to compensation pursuant to 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for alleged additional disability as a residual of a bilateral carotid arteriogram performed at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical facility in October 1969.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish that the veteran's seizure/neurological disorder had its onset during service or is otherwise related to his military service, including any injury or incident therein. The Board also found no evidence supporting entitlement to compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for additional disability resulting from a bilateral carotid arteriogram performed in October 1969.
