Granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and migraine headaches, finding that the Veteran's tinnitus began during his active service and that his migraine headaches were caused by his now service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record showing a link between the Veteran's in-service noise exposure and his current tinnitus, as well as the medical opinion linking his migraines to his tinnitus.
