Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches as secondary to tinnitus, but remanded the issue of entitlement to reopen a claim of service connection for residuals of a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches are but-for due to his service-connected tinnitus.
