Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chest pain secondary to unspecified depressive disorder and anxiety disorder, but remanded the claim for headaches due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The November 2022 VA examiner's opinion on secondary service connection was deemed of high probative value, supporting a finding of service connection for chest pain. However, the June 2022 VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate and required further development before adjudicating the claim for headaches.
