Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for traumatic brain injury (TBI) but remanded the claim for coronary artery disease with congestive heart failure.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's TBI is attributable to in-service events and injuries, while a more detailed medical opinion is needed regarding the secondary nature of CAD.
