Partly granted
The Board denied increased disability evaluations for the Veteran's right and left knee conditions and thoracolumbar strain, but granted service connection for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for the knee and back conditions due to limited motion within the current ratings. However, there was sufficient evidence to establish that the Veteran's migraine headaches were related to his military service.
