Denied
The Board denied service connection for migraine headaches as they are not proximately due to or the result of an already service-connected disease or injury, and there is no evidence establishing a causal relationship between the Veteran's migraines and his tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examiner opined that there was no established causal relationship between the Veteran's headaches and his tinnitus due to the lack of medical understanding on this association.
