The Board has determined that the Veteran's brain hemorrhage is at least as likely as not caused by or a result of his in-service headaches, and thus service connection for residuals of a brain hemorrhage is granted.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's in-service headache condition was as likely as not related to the post-service cerebral hemorrhage.
