Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine including migraine variants as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected generalized anxiety disorder with major depression disorder mild.
The deciding factor: The evidence in favor of the claim, specifically a November 2024 independent medical opinion, was found to be at least as likely as not that the Veteran's chronic headaches, including migraines, are due to his service-connected conditions. The Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
