Granted
The Board granted service connection for glioblastoma multiforme and a right temporal scar status post craniotomy, effective from November 30, 2017, with a maximum 100 percent disability rating assigned.
The deciding factor: The evidence reasonably raised the claim for service connection for the right temporal scar as secondary to the service-connected glioblastoma multiforme, and the criteria for a 100 percent rating were met based on the severity of the glioblastoma multiforme.
