The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for residuals of transient ischemic attack as there is no evidence to support any residual symptoms during the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not show that the Veteran experiences any residuals from his service-connected transient ischemic attack, and he has affirmatively denied experiencing any current symptoms.
