Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea and migraines as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, and an initial rating of 70 percent for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a causal relationship between the Veteran's PTSD and both conditions, with medical opinions favoring the claims over negative VA examination findings.
