Denied
The Board denied service connection for traumatic brain injury, hypertension, and left great toe post-traumatic residual stiffness as there was no evidence of a current disability or nexus to service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current diagnosis of TBI or hypertension, nor was there sufficient medical evidence linking the Veteran's claimed conditions to his military service.
