Denied
The Board denied service connection for migraine headaches, tinnitus, a lower back disability, and sleep apnea as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or caused by the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners opined that there was no nexus between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service due to lack of documentation of chronic symptoms during service, post-service onset of symptoms, and other medical evidence.
