The Board granted service connection for a right knee disability, a back condition as secondary to the knee disability, and anxiety. The claim for a compensable rating for migraines was denied, and the claim for a neck condition as secondary to the knee disability was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's right knee injury in service caused his back issues and anxiety, but not enough characteristic prostrating attacks of migraine pain were present to warrant a compensable rating. The neck claim was remanded for further examination as the previous opinion did not address all aspects of the Veteran's claims.
