The Board found that new and material evidence had not been received to reopen the Veteran's claim for service connection for brain seizures with residual unconsciousness, convulsion, amnesia, and disorientation. The claim was considered on its merits but no rating or effective date was assigned.
The deciding factor: No new and material evidence was submitted that would support reopening of the previously denied claim.
