The Board denied service connection for headaches and seizures as undiagnosed illnesses, finding no evidence of onset during service or association with Gulf War syndrome. The veteran's current conditions are not considered to be related to his military service.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence linking the veteran's current symptoms of headaches and seizures to his military service or anyundiagnosed illness associated with Gulf War syndrome.
