Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and reinstated a 30 percent rating for migraines effective August 5, 2023.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a causal relationship between the Veteran's GERD and OSA with his service-connected disabilities, and the reduction in the migraine rating was improper.
