The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable evaluation for transient ischemic attack, as there was no evidence of symptoms to a compensable degree during the period of appeal.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not show that the Veteran's transient ischemic attack manifested any compensable symptoms during the period of appeal.
