The Board granted service connection for right knee degenerative arthritis, other than posttraumatic, and remanded the issue of an initial compensable rating for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's in-service right knee injury and his current condition, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The Board found that the evidence was not adequate to address the severity of the Veteran's migraine headaches, necessitating further examination.
