Granted
The Board granted service connection for tension headaches and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on evidence supporting their direct relation to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible evidence that the Veteran's tension headaches and OSA were directly related to his active duty service, including reports of onset during service and medical opinions linking these conditions to service-related factors such as PTSD and weight gain.
