Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected asthma and direct service connection for asthma. The claim for left ear hearing loss was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found a nexus between the Veteran's sleep apnea and her service-connected asthma, and that her asthma was related to service based on credible lay statements and medical evidence.
