Denied
The Board denied service connection for various neurological conditions as secondary to iron deficiency anemia, finding no current diagnosis of any of the claimed conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of any of the claimed neurological conditions and was less likely than not proximately due to or the result of the Veteran's service-connected iron deficiency anemia.
