Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches, finding that the evidence is in relative equipoise as to whether they are proximately due to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a positive nexus between the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus and unspecified mental disorder and his claimed migraine headaches, despite conflicting medical opinions. The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
