Denied
The Board denied service connection for migraine headaches as there was no evidence of chronic in-service symptoms, onset within the applicable presumptive period, or a causal relationship between the current disability and an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The Board found the September 2014 and July 2024 nexus opinions probative, which concluded that the Veteran's migraine headaches were not related to service due to the absence of in-service symptoms and the lack of evidence supporting a causal relationship.
