Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for traumatic brain injury and gastroesophageal reflux disease, but granted a 10 percent rating for left lower extremity neuropathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show current diagnoses of TBI or GERD, while the Veteran's left lower extremity neuropathy more nearly approximated moderate incomplete paralysis.
