The Board granted service connection for sleep disorder, diagnosed as insomnia, and a headache disorder, to include migraines. The psychiatric claim was remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's symptoms of insomnia and headaches had their onset in service and were related to his military service.
