Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches and psychiatric disability, diagnosed as PTSD, both related to the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a finding that the Veteran experienced headaches in service and has suffered from them since service separation. The sleep disturbance is a manifestation of his PTSD which had its onset during service.
