Denied
The Board denied service connection for residuals of traumatic brain injury as there is no evidence that the Veteran's TBI occurred during active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion, based on an accurate characterization of the evidence and medical principles, was found to be more persuasive than other evidence provided.
