Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines, finding that the Veteran's headaches are due to or aggravated by his service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, the private medical opinion was found more persuasive than the VA examiner's opinion.
