Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, a migraine headache disability, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for hypertension associated with herbicide exposure was denied, as was the request for an earlier effective date.
