Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for headaches associated with TERA participation and service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), to include as secondary to posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headache disability was found to have characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month, while his OSA disability was determined to be due to his service-connected PTSD.
