The veteran's claims for a higher disability rating for hair loss and migraine headaches were denied. The claim for an earlier effective date for these conditions was also denied. The claim for service connection for sleep apnea was remanded.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the medical evidence did not support a compensable rating for hair loss or a higher rating for migraine headaches, and there was no evidence of a claim filed prior to October 9, 2021.
