Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain and migraine headaches, finding that the evidence supports a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible the Veteran's report of an in-service fall from a ladder and his ongoing symptoms, which were corroborated by a buddy statement. The second element of service connection was met, allowing for the grant of service connection under 38 U.S.C. §1131.
