Granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches, GERD, and obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's headaches are caused by his service-connected tinnitus, his GERD is caused by his service-connected headaches, and his obstructive sleep apnea is related to his becoming overweight due to his service-connected insomnia disorder.
