Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches diagnosed as migraines including migraine variants, but remanded the claims for hypertension, left rotator cuff tear, and right ear hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examiner provided a positive nexus stating that it was at least as likely as not that the Veteran's headaches were caused by or incurred during her service. The Board found the evidence to be in approximate balance regarding the other claims, thus remanding them for further development.
