The Board found that the veteran's seizure disorder was not incurred in or aggravated by service and may not be presumed to have been incurred in service.
The deciding factor: Service medical records were negative for any head injury or seizure disorder. The veteran's statements regarding a head injury during parachute training in service are not supported by contemporaneous evidence, and the Board found his recollections conflicting and unreliable.
