The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a right shoulder disorder and hypertension, but granted service connection for a seizure/syncopal disorder. The initial rating for the right knee disorder remains denied.
The deciding factor: Seizure-like symptoms were diagnosed during service and have persisted since then, with no evidence of pre-service onset or other etiology.
