The veteran's claimed seizure disorder, hearing loss, and dizziness were not found to be the result of VA medical care in October 1997.
The deciding factor: VA determined that the veteran's conditions did not meet the criteria for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 due to lack of causation or fault on the part of VA.
