The Board granted service connection for residuals of a concussion, finding that the Veteran's condition had its onset in and is related to his service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that all three elements of direct service connection were established by the competent and credible lay and medical evidence of record, including the Veteran's reports of sustaining a concussion during an infantry training exercise with live firing, consistent with his military occupational specialty and the circumstances of his service.
