Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus based on a private medical opinion and evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided substantial reasons connecting the Veteran's migraines to his service-connected tinnitus, outweighing the VA opinions that were found inadequate.
