Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected hypertension, finding that the evidence shows his migraine headaches are aggravated by his hypertension.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner provided a favorable nexus opinion with regards to aggravation, determining that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's migraine headaches are aggravated by his service-connected hypertension.
