Granted
The Board granted service connection for both migraine headaches and obstructive sleep apnea, finding a nexus between the Veteran's current conditions and his exposure to toxic substances during military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence regarding a causal nexus between the Veteran's current disability and his exposure to toxic substances on active duty is in approximate balance, warranting the grant of service connection under 38 U.S.C. § 5107.
