Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a headache disability as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, bipolar disorder, depressive disorder, and other specific trauma and stressor-related disorder.
The deciding factor: The Board found that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's headache disability is proximately due to his service-connected mental health disabilities.
