Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hair loss and preexisting migraines, but denied initial compensable evaluations for allergic rhinitis and left eustachian tube dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence supporting a causal relationship between the Veteran's hair loss and toxic exposures during active service, as well as the aggravation of her preexisting migraines due to active service.
