Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not cause him to be in need of regular aid and attendance or housebound, nor are they independently ratable at 60 percent. Therefore, the criteria for SMC based on the need for aid and attendance or on housebound status have not been met.
- Denied
The Board found no clear and unmistakable error in either the May 1986 or June 1987 rating decisions regarding the Veteran's generalized seizure disorder. The initial 40 percent evaluation was upheld, as were the subsequent reductions to 20 percent.
- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for the veteran's neurogenic syncopal episodes, finding that these symptoms are related to his military service.
- Denied
The Board found no credible link between the veteran's current generalized seizure disorder and his in-service head injury, resulting in a denial of service connection.
