Denied
The Board denied service connection for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as the evidence did not support a finding of in-service incurrence or aggravation of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence was persuasively against a finding that the Veteran had a diagnosis of TBI or PTSD due to active service, failing to meet the three-element test for service connection.
