Granted
The Board granted service connection for tension headaches as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected obstructive sleep apnea based on medical evidence linking the two conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is at least in approximate balance that the Veteran's tension headaches were secondarily caused by his service-connected OSA, and the Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
