Denied
The Board denied an effective date earlier than October 23, 2008 for a separate rating for TBI residuals and also denied a higher rating in excess of 10 percent for TBI residuals.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the increase in disability occurred within one year prior to the claim, and the earliest formal or informal claim for a separate rating for TBI residuals was May 27, 2010.
