The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current diagnosis of a neurological disability and therefore, service connection cannot be granted.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a current neurological disability in the record, and the veteran's symptoms are attributed to other causes such as peripheral vestibular disorder.
