Denied
The Board denied service connection for migraines, chronic sinusitis, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active service or TERA exposures.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions concluded that there was no relationship between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's service or TERA exposures based on the absence of relevant symptoms in his STRs and the lack of supporting medical literature.
