Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and remanded claims for headaches and sinus condition due to potential toxic exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show a current diagnosis of sleep apnea, while the claims for headaches and sinus condition require further development due to incomplete service records and potential burn pit exposure.
