The veteran's appeal for service connection for pulmonary tuberculosis secondary to herbicide exposure and an initial compensable rating for hearing loss was withdrawn. The claim for service connection for a seizure disorder was reopened.
The deciding factor: The episodes reported by the veteran during service could have been seizures, as indicated in the September 2005 addendum, necessitating further development before considering the merits of the claim.
