The Board granted service connection for migraines and a 50 percent rating for tension headaches, as the Veteran's symptoms manifested during her active service and have persisted since.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's migraine symptoms began during her service and have continued since. The Board finds the Veteran's migraine headaches were incurred during service based on credible lay statements, service treatment records, and post-service treatment records relating to the Veteran's symptoms and continuity.
