The Board granted service connection for a left temporal lobe mass and epilepsy with intractable seizures as secondary to the left temporal lobe mass.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate equipoise as to whether the Veteran's left temporal lobe mass first manifested within one year of discharge from service, and the evidence persuasively favors a finding that the Veteran's epilepsy with intractable seizures is due to the Veteran's left temporal lobe mass.
