Denied
The Board denied service connection for a headache condition and tinnitus, as the evidence did not support a current diagnosis or a link to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that there was no definitive diagnosis for a headache condition and that the onset of tinnitus began well after her last period of active duty service. A positive nexus opinion was needed to link the conditions to her military noise exposure, which was not provided.
