Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines, claimed as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), finding that there is a credible link between the Veteran's PTSD and his migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by the Veteran was more persuasive than the VA examiner's opinion, establishing an etiological link between the Veteran's migraines and his service-connected PTSD.
