Partly granted
The Veteran's service connection for migraines as secondary to his service-connected PTSD with alcohol use disorder was granted, while the ratings for left foot plantar fasciitis and right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's migraines were caused by or related to his service-connected PTSD with alcohol use disorder, but did not find evidence of a rating in excess of 10 percent for either foot condition or knee condition.
