The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for chronic headaches, as there was no evidence of a current diagnosis or functional impairment related to headaches during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: There is no probative evidence of a current headache disability at any time during the pendency of the claim or recent to the filing of the claim. The July 2024 VA examination report found that the Veteran did not have a headache disability, and there were no objective findings on examination.
