Partly granted
The Board granted a separate 30 percent rating for TBI residuals, including vertigo, dizziness and sensitivity to light from April 18, 2019. The appeal for a higher rating for PTSD was denied.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's TBI residuals, specifically vertigo, dizziness, and sensitivity to light, warranted a separate rating under Diagnostic Code 6204, while the evidence did not support a higher rating for his PTSD.
