Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for systemic lupus erythematosus, low back condition, blurred vision, and headaches were denied. However, the claim for a 10 percent evaluation for epilepsy was granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record weighs pervasively against finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions are etiologically related to active service.
