Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition and denied increased ratings for traumatic brain injury, migraines, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's psychiatric disorder began during active service or was related to an in-service injury. The maximum schedular ratings were already assigned for the TBI-related conditions.
