Granted
The Board granted service connection for the Veteran's headache disability, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the appellant.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in relative equipoise regarding the nexus between the Veteran's headache disability and his active-duty service, particularly given the appellant's competent and credible testimony as a retired medical doctor.
