The Veteran's seizure disorder/epilepsy was not manifested in service or within one year of discharge, and there is no evidence linking the condition to his military service, including as due to herbicide exposure. The Board finds that service connection for a seizure disorder/epilepsy is not warranted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's seizure disorder/epilepsy was first manifested years after separation from active duty, and there is no medical evidence linking the condition to his military service or Agent Orange exposure.
