Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 40 percent for the Veteran's service-connected TBI with cognitive disorder and status post seizure prophylaxis with vertigo.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence failed to demonstrate that the residuals associated with the Veteran's TBI more nearly approximated the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 8045.
