Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic headaches but denied service connection for right knee disability, left knee disability, neurological condition, peripheral neuropathy of the right upper and lower extremities, and skin cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a secondary relationship between the Veteran's chronic headaches and his service-connected tinnitus, while other claims were not supported by sufficient evidence.
