The Board has determined that the Veteran's right arm paresthesias, seborrheic keratoses, and sleep apnea are at least as likely as not related to his service-connected myasthenia gravis. The decision is mixed due to the presence of these conditions.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for all three conditions on a secondary basis (due to their relationship with the Veteran's service-connected myasthenia gravis).
