Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for a headache disability was granted. The rating decision for obstructive sleep apnea was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's headaches manifested to a compensable degree during his active-duty service, and the VA examination was inadequate for determining the severity of his obstructive sleep apnea.
