Granted
The Board granted service connection for nocturnal bruxism, radiculopathy of the lower and upper extremities, and a headache disability, and assigned an initial 30 percent rating for the headache disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a positive nexus between the Veteran's current disabilities and his active service, including chronic symptoms that began during service and continued post-service.
