Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches based on the Veteran's competent and credible lay statements, in-service treatment records, and post-service medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran was competent to report the onset and continuity of his headache symptoms since service, which were corroborated by STRs and post-service VA treatment records.
