Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for migraine headaches as there was no case or controversy, and remanded the claims for right shoulder pain and obstructive sleep apnea due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a current disability for migraine headaches and the need for additional evidence regarding the other conditions.
