Granted
The Board granted service connection for a psychiatric disability and headaches, both diagnosed as secondary to the Veteran's now service-connected psychiatric disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's current psychiatric condition and headaches are related to his in-service experiences and are caused by his service-connected psychiatric disability.
