Granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for residuals of a traumatic brain injury, service connection for Parkinson's disease and headaches secondary to the TBI, and special monthly compensation based on the need for regular aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's cognitive impairment significantly impacted his judgment, leading to a total evaluation under DC 8045. The Board found that the Veteran's Parkinson's disease and headaches were related to his service-connected TBI, and he required regular aid and attendance due to his TBI residuals.
