Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraines, finding that the evidence is in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's migraines were incurred in or caused by service.
The deciding factor: The Board found a medical link between the Veteran's current migraines and his in-service exposure to a grenade explosion, considering the common pathophysiologic mechanism between tinnitus and migraines.
