Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for apraxia and visual spatial deficit secondary to TBI were granted. The claim for auditory processing disorder was denied. An initial 70% rating for TBI was granted, but the claim for a compensable rating for headaches was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported the veteran's claims for apraxia and visual spatial deficit secondary to TBI, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the veteran.
