Migraines & headaches decisions — 2021

The Veteran's rosacea is granted secondary service connection and a 50% rating for status post fracture of the zygomatic arch with headaches is granted from September 28, 2010.

The Veteran's service connection claims for tinnitus, bilateral hearing loss, headaches (claimed as migraines), PTSD, and a lung disorder are all denied.,There is no evidence of current disabilities in any of these conditions that meet the criteria for VA compensation.

The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, hypertension, and headaches as the evidence did not show a link between these conditions and active service.

The Board has remanded the claims of service connection for left shoulder disability, right shoulder disability, sinusitis, and headaches due to lack of compliance with previous remand directives. The Veteran is asked to provide any relevant treatment records.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not meet the requisite schedular percentages for entitlement to a TDIU prior to June 5, 2015. The evidence does not demonstrate that he was unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as a result of his service-connected disabilities.

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient medical evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's migraine headaches. The Veteran is seeking service connection for these headaches, which he claims began during his military service.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection due to issues with his sleep disorder, headaches, and psychiatric condition. The appeals are intertwined as they all relate to conditions that were not definitively resolved during previous reviews.

The Board has determined that additional development is needed to properly adjudicate the Veteran's claims for service connection, including obtaining treatment records and providing examinations.

The Board has denied service connection for neurological, gastrointestinal, and sleep disabilities. Headache disorder and chronic fatigue are remanded for further development.

The Veteran's appeal for a compensable rating for his scar above the left eye is dismissed. The Board grants TDIU on an extraschedular basis due to service-connected headaches, effective October 24, 2011.

The Board has remanded the issues of increased ratings for cervical disc herniation and tension headaches, as well as a TDIU prior to October 16, 2012.
