Granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches, finding that the Veteran's headaches were caused by his service-connected hypertension.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion of Doctor D.M. provided evidence linking the Veteran's headaches to his service-connected hypertension, and this was given positive probative value despite some disagreement from the VA examiner.
