Denied
The Board denied service connection for a headache disorder as there was no evidence of a disability during the appeal period and the medical evidence did not support the claim under any theory of entitlement.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examiner found it less likely than not that the claimed headache disorder was incurred in or aggravated by service, citing the absence of a current diagnosis and the acute nature of any headaches experienced during service and post-service.
