Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of August 19, 2016 for the grant of service connection for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and a 70 percent disability rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the Veteran was diagnosed with TBI as early as 2019, and there is a legal basis to grant entitlement to service connection in the legacy appeal stream stemming from the Veteran's August 2016 claim.
