Partly granted
The Board grants service connection for headaches as the evidence supports a direct link to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The Board finds the Veteran's competent and credible lay testimony regarding the onset and continuity of his headaches, along with the presence of a current diagnosis of migraine headaches, sufficient to establish service connection.
