The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for residuals of a stroke, finding that there is no current diagnosis related to this condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no current diagnosis related to residuals of a stroke and determined that the Veteran did not have a central nervous system disorder or residuals of a stroke.
