Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches, finding that the Veteran's disability is etiologically related to his active service. The other claims were remanded due to inadequate development of the record.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing a link between the Veteran's in-service left eye injury and subsequent onset of migraines, as well as the Veteran's consistent reports of symptoms since service.
