The Board granted service connection for a seizure disorder and hydrocephalus, and granted an initial rating of 50 percent for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence establishes that the Veteran's seizures and hydrocephalus are related to in-service head trauma, and his migraines have manifested with very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.

- Denied
The Board denied separate compensable ratings for a seizure disorder and migraine headaches associated with the Veteran's service-connected traumatic brain injury (TBI) residuals.
- Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection for a seizure disorder was denied as new and material evidence was not received to reopen the previously denied claim. The claims for increased disability evaluations were remanded due to the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled VA examinations.
