The Board granted the application to readjudicate the claim for service connection for a neck condition and denied the claim for entitlement to service connection for residuals of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) (claimed as concussion/TBI).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of TBI or residuals of a TBI, and the Veteran's subjective symptoms were attributed to other factors.
