Denied
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, headaches, and TBI residuals, but remanded service connection for a balance disorder.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher ratings; however, further evidence is needed to determine if he is entitled to service connection for a balance disorder.
