Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for schizophrenia and unspecified anxiety disorder, but denied service connection for traumatic brain injury and readjudicated the claim of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual employability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis of a traumatic brain injury and the favorable medical opinion regarding the Veteran's schizophrenia and unspecified anxiety disorder.
