Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of October 10, 2007 for the grant of service connection for a TBI and remanded the claim for an initial compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's October 2007 informal claim reasonably encompassed a claim for a TBI as he consistently described his undiagnosed illness symptoms, including headaches which were later found to be a symptom of a TBI.
