The veteran is seeking to reopen his claim for service connection for anxiety neurosis and also challenges the August 1974 rating decision that denied this claim. The Board will consider both issues, including whether new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the claim.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claims involve a determination of whether the denial in the 1974 rating decision was due to CUE or if there is new and material evidence that would allow for reopening of his service connection claim.

- Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and remanded issues related to a compensable rating for a nasal fracture, memory impairment, headaches, sinusitis, and total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
- Granted
The Veteran's service connection claim for a disability manifested by symptoms like sleep disturbance, memory impairment, nightmares, and irritability is granted. The Board found that the Veteran has experienced observable psychiatric symptoms since service and established a causal link between his in-service injury and current disabling symptoms.
