The Board denied service connection for migraines and a neck disability, finding no evidence of current disabilities or in-service incurrence. The claim for an acquired mental health condition was remanded for further development.

The deciding factor: The lack of credible evidence supporting the presence of headaches or neck conditions during the appeal period led to their denial; the remand for the mental health condition is due to missing service records and a need for additional medical opinion.
