Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches, finding that the evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's migraine headaches are aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The July 2021 private medical opinion provided probative weight and supported the conclusion that the Veteran's migraine headaches were more likely than not aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus, leading to an approximate balance of evidence.
