The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for tension headaches, finding that there was no evidence of a current disability, in-service incurrence or aggravation, and no causal relationship between the claimed condition and active service.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 and November 2024 VA opinions were probative and persuasive medical evidence indicating that the Veteran's tension headaches were less likely than not proximately due to or the result of his service connected scarring alopecia, and there was no other evidence connecting the condition to active service.
