VA recognizes migraines as a service connected disability, so long as the veteran can prove a connection with military service. In other words, if the veteran can prove that the migraines began in service it is service connected.  Another way is a secondary service connection.  If the migraine relates to other service-connected conditions, then she may obtain service-connected disability for this condition.

Migraines can be debilitating, affecting your ability to work or complete daily tasks.  If you’re a veteran whose migraines resulted from your time in the service, you may be eligible for VA disability benefits. Here’s what you should know.
