The Board denied service connection for neck condition, acquired psychiatric disorder, injury to head, migraines, and vision loss as the evidence did not support a finding of current disability related to service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was persuasively against findings of residuals of a head injury, migraines, or vision loss related to service. Periodic examinations and reports of medical history completed by the Veteran following the asserted motor vehicle accident in 1989 did not indicate any residual disorders. The first mention of complaints related to these conditions was after a post-service motor vehicle accident.
