Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for a brain lesion, finding no evidence of a nexus between the condition and service.
The deciding factor: The March 2021 VA examiner found it less likely than not that the brain lesion was incurred in or caused by service, attributing the condition to chronic arteriolosclerosis.
