The veteran's claim for service connection of migraine headaches has been granted. The decision is based on the relationship between the veteran's migraine headaches and their already service-connected PTSD and major depressive disorder with insomnia disorder.

The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the evidence supports a secondary service connection for migraine headaches due to their relationship with the veteran's service-connected psychiatric conditions.
