Denied
The Board denied the claim for a combined disability rating in excess of 90 percent from March 10, 2021 to June 14, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's combined rating was calculated as 85% with PTSD and TBI residuals, 93% with migraines, and 94% with tinnitus, which rounds down to 90%, not warranting a 100% combined rating.
