Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a gastrointestinal disability manifested by diarrhea and stomach cramping, resolving all doubt in the Veteran's favor. The sleep apnea issue was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's current gastrointestinal disability had its onset during his active service, satisfying the direct service connection theory.
