Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines and remanded the claims for varicose veins, a heart condition, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a bilateral ankle condition, and a left wrist condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a nexus between the Veteran's migraines and his period of active service, but not for the other conditions claimed.
