Denied
The Board denied service connection for an eye (vision) disorder and remanded the claim for a headache disorder to include migraines, including as secondary to tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claimed vision disorder was related to congenital or developmental errors of refraction, which are not considered disabilities for VA compensation purposes. The headache disorder could not be diagnosed due to lack of objective findings in the claims file.
