Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches, finding a nexus between the Veteran's in-service exposure and his current condition.
The deciding factor: The December 2020 VA examiner provided an opinion that the Veteran's migraines were at least as likely as not related to his service in Southwest Asia during the Persian Gulf War, which was found persuasive by the Board.
