The Board has granted service connection for a seizure disability, finding that it is at least as likely as not caused by the Veteran's service-connected traumatic brain injury.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the diagnosed complex partial seizures disability originated from the inservice traumatic brain injury and established a relationship between the two conditions based on medical opinions.
