The Board has reopened the veteran's claim of entitlement to service connection for residuals of a head injury, including a seizure disorder. However, there is no current evidence of a seizure disorder or other residual of a head injury, and the VA examiner found no current diagnosis of a seizure disorder.
The deciding factor: There is no current evidence of a seizure disorder or other residual of a head injury after service, with the most recent medical records indicating resolution of the pre-existing condition in 1989.
