Granted
The Board granted service connection for unspecified headaches as secondary to the service-connected tinnitus due to the evidence being in relative equipoise.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's unspecified headaches are secondary to his service-connected tinnitus, and the benefit-of-the-doubt rule applies.
