Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep disturbances, diagnosed as sleep apnea, but denied service connection for dizziness, as secondary to headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the direct link between the Veteran's sleep apnea and his active service, while there was no established service connection for the primary disability (headaches) that could support a secondary claim for dizziness.
