Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for TBI and sleep apnea, and assigned a 30 percent rating for migraine headaches. The gastrointestinal disorder was dismissed, and the chronic fatigue syndrome claim was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of migraines, TBI, and sleep apnea were found to be related to his military service, while the gastrointestinal disorder did not meet the criteria for service connection within the relevant appeal period.
