A noncancerous tumor in the brain that may cause headaches, seizures, or other neurological symptoms.
For the 60% minimum tumor rating, medical records confirming the diagnosis of a benign brain tumor are the foundation. For residual ratings at or above 10%, the evidence should reflect how your symptoms affect each functional area. Neuropsychological testing can provide objective findings on memory, attention, concentration, executive functions, and similar cognitive domains — this matters because some rating levels require objective test results, not just reported complaints. Records showing how often you become disoriented, get lost, have difficulty communicating, or exhibit neurobehavioral changes like irritability or impulsivity are relevant. Statements from you or people who know you describing how symptoms interfere with work, daily tasks, or close relationships support the subjective symptoms and neurobehavioral categories. Treatment records, neurologist notes, and imaging results help establish the ongoing nature of the condition and its effects over time.
Conditions that are often caused or made worse by this one. If you have any of these, they may be claimable as secondary service connection.
