Migraines & headaches Board decisions

The Board denied service connection for the veteran's claimed headache disorder, finding that there was no evidence linking his current headaches to any event during his active duty service.

The Board found no evidence of a concussion or skull fracture during service, and the post-service medical records do not support a causal relationship between current symptoms and in-service trauma. The veteran's headaches are diagnosed as tension headaches with no competent opinion linking them to service.

The veteran's headaches are related to service and granted service connection.

The Board has denied service connection for multiple joint pain, hearing loss, headaches, a neck disorder, and a condition manifested by a low white blood cell count as there is no current medical diagnosis of these conditions.

The Board has granted service connection for headaches secondary to a deviated nasal septum and has also granted an increased evaluation of 10 percent for the veteran's deviated nasal septum.

The veteran's appeal is being remanded to the RO for further action, including obtaining Social Security Administration records and verifying stressors. The case will be returned to the Board after completion of these actions.

The veteran's claims for service connection were denied as his claimed conditions are not shown to be related to his military service.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection and special monthly pension based on aid and attendance/housebound status. The claim for service connection was denied due to lack of new and material evidence, while the claim for special monthly pension was denied as the veteran did not meet the criteria for either aid and attendance or housebound status.

The Board has granted the veteran's claim for an earlier effective date of September 17, 1998 for total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).

The veteran's appeal was dismissed due to his death, and the Board has no jurisdiction to adjudicate the merits of this claim.

The Board has remanded the case back to the RO for further development, including scheduling a videoconference hearing. The veteran's appeal will be reconsidered after this additional evidence is processed.

The Board has determined that diabetes mellitus and hypertension were not incurred or aggravated during service, nor are they presumed to have been incurred within one year of discharge. The scar on the right third finger is also denied as it is not related to service.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining updated medical opinions and evidence. The veteran's claims of service connection for a cervical spine disability and headaches are on appeal, as is his claim for increased ratings for his lumbosacral strain.

The Board has ordered a remand for additional development of the veteran's claims, including obtaining medical records and scheduling a VA examination. The case will be reconsidered based on the new evidence.

The Board has determined that additional development is needed to properly adjudicate the veteran's claims, including obtaining medical opinions and evidence regarding the nature and etiology of her claimed disabilities.

The Board has granted service connection for headaches, but denied the remaining claims on appeal.

The veteran's appeal is for a higher disability rating for his service-connected post-traumatic syndrome, which includes headaches and tinnitus. The RO must obtain all relevant medical records, provide the required VCAA notice, and schedule the veteran for an appropriate VA examination to assess his current condition.

The Board denied the veteran's petitions to reopen his claims for service connection for headaches, a back disorder, and bilateral hearing loss. The appeals were not successful.
