Granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected Parkinson's disease with right upper extremity bradykinesia, tremors, and muscle rigidity/right arm and hand shakes when pressure is applied.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's headaches were aggravated by his service-connected Parkinson's disease, and resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, service connection for headaches was warranted.
