Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for acute intermittent tension headaches as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected hypertension, but dismissed the appeal for entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) that was withdrawn by the Veteran.
The deciding factor: Service connection for the tension headaches was granted due to their causation by the Veteran's service-connected hypertension, as supported by medical evidence and resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
