Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for tension headaches from June 15, 2024, and denied a compensable rating for traumatic brain injury.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's tension headaches warranted a 10 percent rating, but his TBI did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
