Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and denied it for depression. Migraine headaches and obstructive sleep apnea were remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinnitus was found to be as likely as not related to his active-duty service, while the issue of depression was deemed moot due to existing service-connected disability that covers similar symptoms.
