Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines and PTSD, but dismissed claims for service connection for various other disabilities and denied a higher disability rating for lumbosacral degenerative disc disease with strain.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on continuity of symptomatology for migraines and a credible report of in-service stressors for PTSD. Other claims were dismissed due to procedural defects or denied as the evidence did not support service connection.
