Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for tinnitus, depression, mitral valve prolapse, and shortness of breath was dismissed due to claims processing errors. The claim for service connection for migraine headaches was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran has had a diagnosis for migraine headaches during the pendency of or proximate to the filing of her July 2024 service connection claim, and there is no current disability to support the claim.
