Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for accrued benefits purposes and denied it for prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: Service connection for OSA was granted due to aggravation by the Veteran's service-connected pulmonary histoplasmosis, while evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's prostate cancer was caused or aggravated by his active service or any service-connected disability.
