Denied
The Board denied a disability rating greater than 70 percent for PTSD and TBI, as well as an initial disability rating greater than 30 percent for migraines.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the criteria for higher ratings due to the symptoms of the Veteran's disabilities being unable to be clearly differentiated and not causing total occupational and social impairment.
