Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for TBI residuals (to include headaches, fatigue, and seizures) for accrued benefits purposes to obtain a retrospective etiological opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence regarding the nature and etiology of the Veteran's claimed disability, including whether any pre-existing condition was aggravated by an in-service injury or if the pertinent symptoms and diagnoses during the appeal period were caused by the in-service injury.
