Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for scars residual laceration of the scalp. The claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder was remanded.
The deciding factor: The TBI was found to have occurred during active service, while the scar did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under applicable regulations.
