The Board has determined that there is no current diagnosis of a seizure disability, and thus the veteran's claim for service connection for seizures with anxiety attacks, difficulty concentrating, stress fatigue, and panic attacks is denied.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence demonstrating a current seizure disability or any other comparable disability. The veteran has not provided sufficient medical basis to support his claim of service connection.
