Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial rating in excess of 40 percent for TBI prior to July 1, 2023, and in excess of 70 percent thereafter. The request for Higher-Level Review was found to be timely.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's TBI warranted an initial rating higher than 40 percent before July 1, 2023, or higher than 70 percent after that date.
