Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines, finding that the evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's migraines are due to an injury during active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a link between the Veteran's head injury and her current migraines, despite the absence of immediate treatment records. The Board finds the Veteran's statements credible and grants the claim based on the benefit-of-the-doubt rule.
