The Board granted service connection for a headache disability and anemia, but remanded the remaining claims for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's headache disability and anemia were incurred during active duty, so resolving all reasonable doubt in her favor, service connection was warranted. The other claims were remanded due to insufficient evidence or a need for additional medical opinions.
