Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines and vertigo as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus, but remanded the claim for a right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided in September 2025 was more persuasive than the VA examiner’s opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's migraines/vertigo and his service-connected tinnitus.
