Granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches and depression as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected tinnitus and hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's and non-VA PA's opinions, along with the Veteran's testimony, supported the conclusion that the Veteran's headaches and depression are caused by his service-connected disabilities.
