Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a traumatic brain injury and remanded the claims for an initial compensable evaluation for migraines and a 10 percent evaluation based upon multiple, noncompensable, service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence demonstrated that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis for a TBI. The Board found that the Veteran's migraines did not meet the criteria for an initial compensable evaluation and that the claims were inextricably intertwined with each other.
