Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea and chronic headache disability (tension headaches), both found to be secondary to the Veteran's service-connected allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's sleep apnea and chronic headache disability were related to his service-connected allergic rhinitis, leading to a grant of service connection for both conditions.
