The Board granted service connection for a migraine disorder, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that the Veteran's migraine disorder had its onset during active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is conflicting but in relative equipoise, thus, the Board resolves reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finds that the Veteran's migraine disorder manifested during his active duty service and has continued since separation.
