Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided a nexus between the Veteran's migraines and her service-connected depression, which was deemed more probative than the VA examiner's opinion.
