The veteran's post-traumatic encephalopathy with depressive symptoms is currently rated as 30 percent disabling, and the Board finds that an evaluation in excess of this rating is not warranted.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not support a diagnosis of multi-infarct dementia associated with brain trauma, which would allow for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 9304.
