The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches and an initial rating of 30 percent for irritable bowel syndrome with diverticular disease, while remanding the claims for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea, a bilateral hands and fingers condition, and female sexual dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine headaches are chronic and continuity of symptomatology is established. The Veteran's irritable bowel syndrome with diverticular disease manifests in diarrhea or alternating diarrhea and constipation, with more or less constant abdominal distress.
