The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected conditions, but denied service connection for right and left upper extremity radiculopathy and osteoarthritis of the right hip.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence indicated that the Veteran's migraine headaches and SVT were caused or aggravated by his service-connected degenerative arthritis of the cervical spine and lumbosacral strain with degenerative arthritis, intervertebral disc syndrome and spinal stenosis, respectively. However, there was no credible evidence to support a current disability of right or left upper extremity radiculopathy or osteoarthritis of the right hip.
