Partly granted
The Board granted increased ratings for TBI residuals and migraine headaches, as well as an earlier effective date for certain benefits, but denied increased ratings for PTSD and major depressive disorder and the fractured coccyx.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the Veteran's symptoms and their impact on her occupational and social functioning, with reasonable doubt resolved in favor of the Veteran where appropriate.
