Denied
The Board denied service connection for a traumatic brain injury as there is no current diagnosis of TBI and no evidence of an in-service head injury.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was based on erroneous information provided by the Veteran, and the STRs do not show any reports of treatment for a head injury in service.
