Denied
The Board denied service connection for hepatitis C and residuals of a liver transplant with shunt implant, stroke, and seizures as the medical evidence did not support a current disability during the pendency of the appeal.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence weighed against a diagnosis of hepatitis C and there was no evidence to support that the liver transplant or its residuals were caused by or aggravated by service-connected hepatitis C.
