Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for PTSD and remanded the claim for further development regarding migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of PTSD, which is required to establish service connection. The VA examiner found no credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service stressor occurred, and there was no other corroborating evidence provided by the Veteran or third parties.
