Denied
The Board denied service connection for a leg condition as secondary to traumatic brain injury and denied increased ratings for posttraumatic stress disorder with traumatic brain injury, as well as separate ratings for the two conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of a current leg condition or a causal relationship between the Veteran's TBI and any leg symptoms reported. The Board also found that the Veteran's PTSD and TBI residuals overlapped and could not be separately rated due to their shared symptoms.
