Denied
The Board denied service connection for a traumatic brain injury, and remanded claims for headaches, right knee osteoarthritis, and left knee osteoarthritis due to deficiencies in the previous medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have a current diagnosis of TBI during the appeal period, and there was no evidence linking his claimed disabilities to service or any service-connected condition.
