Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines, as a presumptive condition associated with Southwest Asia service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's qualifying service in Southwest Asia and the absence of a clear etiology for his migraines, which are considered a medically unexplained chronic multisymptom illness (MUCMI) under 38 C.F.R. § 3.317.
