Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of January 30, 2014, for the grant of service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) but denied an earlier effective date for migraines.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the continuous pursuit of the claim for OSA since January 30, 2014, while there was no communication or intent to file a claim for migraines prior to June 8, 2011.
