The Board granted service connection for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for urinary frequency. The other claims were remanded.

The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's TBI began during active service, while the urinary frequency did not meet the criteria for an increased rating.
