The Board found that the veteran's service medical records are negative for complaints or findings of a head injury or seizure disorder. The Board concluded that there is no evidence to support the claim of service connection for residuals of a head injury, including a seizure disorder.
The deciding factor: Service medical records were silent for any complaints or findings related to a head injury or seizure disorder.
