Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable evaluation for migraines and remanded the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, to include as secondary to a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating due to the lack of characteristic prostrating attacks. The Board found that an adequate VA medical opinion was not provided for the claim of service connection for sleep apnea, and remanded it for further development.
