Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for lumbosacral strain with degenerative disc disease was granted. The claim for tonic-clonic seizures or grand mal epilepsy was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved doubt in favor of the Veteran for lumbosacral strain with degenerative disc disease, but found evidence persuasively against a finding that the Veteran's seizure disorder is a result of an in-service event or injury.
