Denied
The Board denied service connection for migraines and cervical spine pain, finding that the evidence did not support a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no medical or scientific evidence linking the Veteran's migraines to his in-service toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) or any other in-service event. For the cervical spine, there was insufficient evidence of a current disability related to an in-service injury.
