Granted
The Board granted service connection for a brain injury secondary to the Veteran's service-connected aneurysm.
The deciding factor: The neurologist opinion established that the Veteran's current disability is more consistent with a non-traumatic brain injury due to his 1996 aneurysm than the reported in-service injury, providing a basis for secondary service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.310(a).
