Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches and an initial 30 percent rating for vertigo, based on the Veteran's toxic exposures during the Gulf War Era.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's migraine headaches and her toxic exposures during active service, as well as dizziness and staggering symptoms associated with her vertigo that have persisted throughout the appeal period.
