Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic migraines but denied service connection for radiculopathy of the right lower extremity.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had RLE radiculopathy, while his chronic migraines manifested within one year of separation from service and were not attributable to intercurrent causes.
