The Board granted service connection for right knee strain and denied service connection for a headaches disability. The left knee condition was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of service connection for right knee strain due to in-service symptoms, while there was no credible evidence supporting a current diagnosis of a chronic headache disorder or a relationship to service.
