Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and hair loss, but granted a 50% rating for tension headaches starting December 22, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities of sleep apnea or hair loss. However, the Veteran's tension headaches were found to be severe enough to warrant a higher rating.
