Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches based on new and relevant evidence showing that the Veteran's headaches began during service and have continued since then.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 medical opinion, along with lay statements from the Veteran's former platoon leader, established a nexus between the current migraines and in-service symptoms, supporting continuity of symptomatology.
