Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent disability rating for seizures prior to October 18, 2019, and denied a higher rating from that date. The Veteran was also granted service connection for a stroke and its residuals, as well as special monthly compensation based on the need for aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the frequency of seizures and the causal relationship between Hughes syndrome with Sjogren's syndrome and the stroke.
