Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches based on the receipt of new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements, along with lay statements from his wife, sister, and friends/fellow soldiers, supported a continuous history of migraines since military service. The VA examiner's opinions were found to be inadequate due to lack of analysis supporting their conclusions.
