The Board has denied service connection for a seizure disorder and a skin disorder, finding that there is no evidence of these conditions during or within one year after the veteran's active service. The Board also found that the current diagnoses are not related to his military service.
The deciding factor: There was no chronic disability manifested by seizures or skin disorders during or within one year after the veteran's active service, and the medical evidence does not support a link between these conditions and his military service.
