Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for tension headaches, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the condition and her active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions were based on an accurate medical history and provided an explanation that contained clear conclusions and supporting data, while the private clinician did not provide a nexus opinion or address the nature and etiology of the provided diagnosis.
