Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an increased rating for residuals of TBI with anxiety due to a need for a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion that the Veteran's cognitive and emotional/behavioral symptoms are likely due to an etiology other than TBI lacks sufficient rationale, necessitating a new examination.
