Granted
The Board granted service connection for a migraine disability as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected degenerative arthritis of the cervical spine with IVDS.
The deciding factor: The neurologist's opinion, based on a review of the record and consistent with the Veteran's service treatment notes, established that the Veteran's migraines are at least as likely as not related to his service-connected degenerative arthritis of the cervical spine with IVDS.
