The Board granted service connection for neoplasm with ampulla vater tumor, status post pancreatectomy and GERD as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder, and granted service connection for migraine headaches. The Board denied a disability rating greater than 50 percent for the unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder but granted TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current disabilities were proximately caused by his service-connected unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder, and that these conditions resulted in occupational impairment warranting a TDIU.
