Granted
The veteran's service connection claims for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and headache disorder were granted. The TBI is related to a motor vehicle accident in service, and the headache disorder is a residual of the TBI.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran based on service treatment records documenting post-head trauma and VA treatment records showing a diagnosis of TBI and a headache disorder related to the in-service motor vehicle accident.
