The Board found that the early symptoms of a cerebral vascular accident, ultimately resulting in status post subarachnoid hemorrhage with some left hemiplegia were incurred during a period of INACDUTRA. However, there was no evidence to support a service connection for a myocardial infarction.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's symptoms and medical records supported his claim for subarachnoid hemorrhage with left hemiplegia, but not for a myocardial infarction.
