The Board remands the claim for a headache disability to afford the Veteran a VA examination and medical opinion.
The deciding factor: There is evidence of persistent or recurrent symptoms of a disability, evidence establishing that an event, injury, or disease occurred in service, and as there was evidence during service and after service of headaches, this qualifies as an indication that the persistent or recurrent symptoms of a disability may be associated with the Veteran's service.
