Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for tension headaches was denied. The claims for service connection for unspecified joint pain and muscle pain were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, and the medical opinions on joint and muscle pain were insufficient.
