Partly grantedPACT Act
The Veteran's claim for a scar on the right pinky finger was denied. The claims for sleep apnea and migraines were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision on the scar was based on the lack of evidence showing a current disability; the remands were due to inadequate medical opinions and the need for additional evaluations under the PACT Act.
