The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for seizure disorder, multiple sclerosis, and residuals of an injury to his left eye. The claim for migraine headaches was granted.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence establishing a current diagnosis of a seizure disorder or multiple sclerosis, and conflicting opinions exist regarding whether the veteran's migraines are related to service. Service connection for residuals of an injury to the left eye was denied due to lack of documented injuries in service.
