  1. Hello, I got a denial for headaches and I'm not sure what it is saying. When I read it I think it's contradicting itself. Could someone please help me understand what it says? Also there are a lot of other times I reported headaches after service which are all in my VA medical records that they did not mention in denial so I'm thinking they didn't actually read my file? This is from the letter. Service connection for headache condition. Service connection may be granted for a disability which began in military service or was caused by some event or experience in service. (38 CFR 3.303) While your service treatment records reflect complaints, treatment, or a diagnosis similar to that claimed, the medical evidence supports the conclusion that a persistent disability was not present in service. (38 CFR 3.303) We did not find a link between your medical condition and military service. (38 CFR 3.303) The evidence does not show that your disease developed to a compensable degree within the specified time period after release from service to qualify for the presumption of service connection. (38 CFR 3.307, 38 CFR 3.309) Service connection for headache condition is denied since this condition neither occurred in nor was caused by service. (38 CFR 3.303, 38 CFR 3.304) Favorable findings identified in this decision: Service treatment record dated January 26, 2005 and July 25, 2007 shows headaches. Medical record dated January 13, 2020 from Canandaigua VA Medical Center shows headaches. You have sufficient service to meet the minimum requirements for presumptive service connection. The claimed disability is a chronic disease which may be presumptively linked to your military service.
