How To Get a VA-Valid Migraine Diagnosis. What Doctors Must Document

In this video, we explain how to get a VA-valid migraine diagnosis and what doctors must document in your records for the VA to properly evaluate your condition. You’ll learn what a migraine diagnosis actually means, the symptoms veterans should clearly describe—such as frequency, duration, light and sound sensitivity, nausea, dizziness, vision changes, and the need to lie down—and how these details show functional loss. We also explain what should happen during a proper medical appointment, why imaging like MRI or CT scans is used to rule out other conditions, and how consistent documentation and follow-up visits help establish chronic migraines for VA disability purposes.

If you want structured guidance on diagnosis, documentation, and building stronger VA claims, check out the Deck Plate resources and the Vets Portal app. They’re designed to help veterans understand how the VA disability system works.
