Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for migraine headaches prior to May 16, 2024, and denied service connection for gastritis. The claims for GERD and sleep apnea were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine headache attacks did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, and there was no current diagnosis of gastritis to support service connection. A new medical opinion is needed for GERD and sleep apnea due to inadequate previous opinions.
