The Veteran's service connection for migraine headaches was granted as secondary to his service-connected disabilities, while other conditions were denied.

The deciding factor: Service connection for the migraine headaches was supported by a private medical opinion attributing them to service-connected disabilities. Other claims were denied due to insufficient evidence of in-service injury or illness and lack of a nexus to service.
