Granted
The Board granted service connection for residuals of a head injury, including headaches, dizziness, and cognitive and behavioral impairment. The Board also granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in approximate equipoise regarding the Veteran's in-service head injury and its residuals, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the claimant.
