Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for heart disability and sleep apnea, but denied service connection for body pain and right knee disability. The character of the appellant's discharge from service was found to be dishonorable.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on medical evidence showing that the heart disability and sleep apnea were related to service, while body pain and right knee disability had no relation to service.
