The Board has remanded the claims for missing private treatment records and a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of any diagnosed sleep disorder, including insomnia. The remaining issues on appeal will be readjudicated after these actions.
The Board has remanded two claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 due to a lack of an adequate medical opinion in the August 2018 rating decision, which denied the Veteran's claim without obtaining relevant opinions regarding her wrist injury and seizure disorder.
The Board has determined that the Veteran's seizure disorder, diagnosed as epilepsy, is related to his service and grants service connection for this condition.
The Board has granted an increased rating of 100 percent for the Veteran's seizure disorder with tonic-colonic seizures mixed with complex partial seizures, finding that the evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether he had one or more major seizures per month during the appeal period.
