Partly granted
The Board restored the 40% disability evaluation for the Veteran's traumatic brain injury and granted a 30% rating for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: Sustained improvement of the service-connected TBI was not demonstrated, while the Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average once each month for his headache condition.
