Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic headaches, finding that the evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's headache condition is causally related to his period of active service.
The deciding factor: The probative opinion provided by the July 2023 private clinician supported a direct causal relationship between the Veteran's headache condition and his active service, which was uncontroverted by any other evidence in the claims file.
