Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sinus headaches and remanded the claims for insomnia, sleep problems, fatigue, forgetfulness/memory problems, weight problems (sleep problems), an acquired mental health condition, to include depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and aching muscles and joints.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's sinus headaches began during or are related to her military service. However, there is no current diagnosis of, or functional impairment from, a sleep condition, and further development is needed for the other issues.
