The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and migraines, finding that both conditions are aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence of record supports a link between the Veteran's OSA and his service-connected major depressive disorder, tinnitus, left hip strain, and GERD. For migraines, the evidence shows aggravation due to his service-connected major depressive disorder, tinnitus, and left hip strain.
