Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea but granted service connection for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence was not sufficient to establish a direct link between the Veteran's sleep apnea and his military service, while there was credible lay evidence supporting the onset of migraines during service.
