The Board granted service connection for migraines and denied a compensable rating for hypoesthesia of the left lower extremity, while remanding the claim for restless leg syndrome.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on chronicity of symptomatology since service that is attributable to a chronic disease. The evidence did not support a finding of a nexus between the Veteran's migraines and his active-duty service, but service connection was granted under a presumption due to the chronic nature of the condition.
