I was recently denied for headaches, migraines as I filed for undiagnosed symptoms.
The explanation in my denial letter states as follows:
Service connection for headaches, migraine is denied since this condition neither occurred in or was caused by service.
Your service treatment records do not contain complaints, treatment, or diagnosis for this condition. The evidence does not show and event, disease or injury in service. we did not find a link between your medical condition and military service. The VA medical opinion found no link between your diagnosed medical condition and military service.
I claimed it was a migraine. But I am not a medically trained person. It is a sever headache though. Isn't headache a presumptive noted in 38 C.F.R. § 3.317(b)(3)? Or did I shaft my self in stating it is a migraine in the DBQ?
I am not being treated for migraines. I am unsure why as I have been mentioning them for 3 years now since going to the VA.

I think perhaps they used the self diagnosis of migraines to say it's a diagnosed illness, as such not presumptive. Maybe go to your Dr about the headaches and history. The key would be to show headac
