The Board has granted service connection for a neurological disability manifested by weakness and paresthesias, finding that it is related to the Veteran's service-connected epilepsy.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's post-ictal confusions with symptoms including numbness and tingling in both feet are related to his service-connected epilepsy, which resulted in a temporary loss of function in one or more areas of the brain.
