Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that his migraines are related to or aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The private physician and VA examiner provided conflicting opinions, but the Board found the evidence to be in approximate balance, resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
