The Board has determined that the Veteran's claims for service connection for a brain aneurysm/stroke and seizure disorder are remanded due to inadequate medical opinions regarding whether these conditions are related to his service-connected skull fracture with concussion and/or headaches. The case will be returned to the Board after new evidence is provided.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations did not address whether the Veteran's service-connected skull fracture with concussion or headaches have caused or aggravated his current aneurysm/stroke and seizure disorder beyond their natural progression.
