Partly granted
The Board denied an earlier effective date for TBI, a compensable rating for TBI, and granted service connection for GERD as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date or a compensable rating for TBI, but it supported granting service connection for GERD as secondary to post-traumatic headaches, bilateral knee strain, and PTSD.
