Granted
The Board granted service connection for traumatic brain injury based on the evidence showing a current disability, an in-service event, and a nexus between the two.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA examiner provided a positive nexus opinion that it was more likely than not that the TBI was incurred during service as a result of a documented mild concussion which occurred during training.
