The Board granted service connection for chronic headaches and dizziness, finding that these conditions are related to the Veteran's in-service toxic exposures.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record shows current disabilities of chronic headaches and dizziness, an in-service disease or injury, and there is competent evidence linking the current chronic headache disability to the in-service injury. Additionally, while the September 2024 VA examination linked the Veteran's current dizziness to his service based on in-service toxic exposures, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
