The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have current neurological damage, vertigo, or adrenal gland dysfunction as a result of his service-connected electrical shock injury. However, he is found to have left trapezius and right pectoral muscular damage from this incident.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in equipoise regarding whether the Veteran has current neurological damage, vertigo, or adrenal gland dysfunction related to his service-connected electrical shock injury.
