Denied
The Board denied a rating higher than 50 percent for posttraumatic headaches and a rating higher than 70 percent for PTSD with TBI.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an increase in the ratings as the Veteran's symptoms were already well-represented by the current ratings, and no new or relevant evidence was provided to warrant a higher rating.
