The veteran's service connection for migraines is granted based on continuity of symptomatology. The claim for a left shoulder disability, to include shoulder strain, labral tear, and AC joint osteoarthritis, is remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the appellant's headaches were noted in service, and he continued to have the same symptoms after separation, thus granting service connection based on continuity of symptomatology. The claim for a left shoulder disability requires further development due to an inadequate VA medical opinion.
