Denied
The Board denied service connection for anxiety, depression, PTSD, headaches (including migraines), and sleep apnea syndrome as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active duty.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record failed to show a nexus between the claimed disabilities and the Veteran's period of ACDUTRA or INACDUTRA service, and there was no line of duty determination related to the reported stressors or injuries.
