Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and remanded the claims for back pain and migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a current disability of sleep apnea, while there was insufficient evidence to make a decision on the other two conditions due to the need for additional medical opinions.
