Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea secondary to the Veteran's service-connected chronic sinusitis, but remanded the claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is related to his service-connected chronic sinusitis.
