Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea and migraines, but remanded the claims for tinnitus and an acquired psychiatric disorder due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sleep apnea was linked to his obesity, which is a result of weight gain caused by his service-connected musculoskeletal disabilities. Migraines were found to have begun during active service and continued to the present.
