The Board finds that the veteran's seizure disorder does not more nearly approximate an average of at least one major seizure in three months over the last year or more than 10 minor seizures per week, and therefore denies a rating in excess of 60 percent.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not show that the frequency of major or minor seizures more nearly approximates an average of at least one major seizure in three months over the last year or more than 10 minor seizures weekly.
