Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol use disorder, and an unspecified depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence was found to be in equipoise regarding the relationship between the Veteran's current migraine headache disability and his service-connected mental health disorders, leading to a grant of service connection after resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
