Denied
The Board denied service connection for migraine headaches and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as they were not shown to be related to the Veteran's active duty or caused by a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support a causal relationship between the current conditions and either in-service events or a service-connected disability, including exposure to burn pits and other toxins under the PACT Act.
