Denied
The Board denied service connection for a traumatic brain injury and a headache condition, finding no evidence of current diagnoses or in-service incurrences. The right shoulder disability claim was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current diagnosis or an in-service incurrence for the TBI and headache conditions; thus, service connection was denied. For the right shoulder condition, additional medical opinion is needed due to inadequate previous examination.
