Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a kidney condition, but denied service connection for tension headaches and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's kidney condition had its onset in active service. However, there is no competent medical evidence linking the Veteran's tension headaches or obstructive sleep apnea to her military service or any service-connected disability.
