Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for hypertension and tinnitus, as well as remanded the claim for service connection for sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for hypertension or tinnitus, and an adequate medical opinion was needed for the sleep apnea claim.
