The Board denied the veteran's claims for an initial compensable rating for chronic post-traumatic headaches, service connection for a traumatic brain injury, and service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include depression, insomnia, and sleeping condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over last several months for his chronic post-traumatic headaches. The traumatic brain injury and acquired psychiatric disorder were not shown to have their onset in service or be etiologically related to service.
