The Board granted service connection for tension headaches, obstructive sleep apnea, and erectile dysfunction, with an initial rating of 50 percent for the tension headaches.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tension headaches were found to result in symptoms that more nearly approximate very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability. The Board also granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction, both linked to his service-connected PTSD.
