The Board has granted service connection for residuals of a traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, tremors of the left and right hands, and blurred vision. The decision is based on direct evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was sufficient direct evidence linking the Veteran’s current disabilities to his in-service TBI, resulting in a grant of service connection for all claimed conditions.
