The Board granted service connection for migraines as secondary to the service-connected depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by the Veteran's clinician, which cited multiple scholarly sources and was consistent with other evidence of record, persuaded the Board that the Veteran's current migraines disability is due to his service-connected depressive disorder.
