Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches and bilateral pes planus, denied service connection for anxiety, and denied an initial compensable rating for alopecia areata. The claims for service connection for difficulty breathing (claimed as asthma), back strain, and sleep disturbances were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record, including the Veteran's statements regarding the onset and nature of her symptoms, medical records, and examination reports.
