Partly granted
Service connection for migraines is granted. Service connection for a low back condition is denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lay statements and testimony regarding how his migraines became worse during active service illustrate that there is not clear and unmistakable evidence that the disability was not aggravated by military service.
