Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches and denied compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for a March 2017 ankle surgery, as well as service connection for cervical spinal stenosis as secondary to complex regional pain syndrome.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine headaches were related to active service, while the other claims were denied due to lack of evidence supporting their relationship to service or a service-connected disability.
