The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current, diagnosed seizure disorder and therefore service connection for this condition is denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not establish a current diagnosis of a seizure disorder or any underlying neurological condition that would support a grant of service connection.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
What you can do next

The Veteran's seizure disorder is rated at 10 percent, and the Board finds that a higher rating is not warranted as he has not had any seizures in over two years.
