The Board denied service connection for a central nervous system disorder and dismissed the appeal for entitlement to a total disability based upon individual unemployability. The claims for service connection for right hip, left hip, atrial fibrillation, and neck disorders were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of a CNS disorder, and there was no additional compensation that could be awarded by granting TDIU given the Veteran's existing 100% rating for posttraumatic stress disorder. The claims for service connection for right hip, left hip, atrial fibrillation, and neck disorders were remanded due to errors in the duty to assist.
