Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 70 percent rating for TBI residuals, a separate 30 percent rating for a peripheral vestibular disorder associated with service-connected TBI, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) from August 9, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's TBI residuals were manifested by no more than level 3 functional impairment in the visual spatial orientation facet, and he experienced vertigo and staggering problems associated with his service-connected TBI that precluded him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
