Partly granted
The veteran's PTSD claim was granted, the depression claim was denied, and the migraine headaches claim was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision on PTSD was based on a VA medical examiner's opinion linking current symptoms to an in-service stressor; the depression claim was denied due to lack of a current disability diagnosis; the migraine headaches claim was remanded due to inadequate medical opinion.
