Does VA really allow migraines secondary to tinnitus? So many have told me they dont. I have both and it drives me crazy

[@EllisClinic]

Yes, VA does allow migraines secondary to tinnitus.

[@EllisClinic]

The key to obtaining a rating for a secondary condition like migraines due to tinnitus is to clearly demonstrate a direct connection or causation between the primary service-connected condition (in this case, tinnitus) and the secondary condition (migraines). If a veteran believes that their migraines are a result of or have been exacerbated by their tinnitus, they would typically need a nexus letter that clearly states the migraines are a result of, or have been exacerbated by, the tinnitus.
