Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches, finding a continuous symptomatology since an in-service injury and a competent nexus to service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's consistent reports of headache symptoms beginning shortly after his 1989 head injury during service, with no intervening cause, and a March 2016 VA provider opinion supporting this connection.
