Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for OSA secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, but denied service connection for BPPV and hypotension, to include as secondary to service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative balance regarding whether the Veteran's OSA is due to his service-connected PTSD, leading to a grant of service connection. However, there was persuasive evidence against finding that the Veteran's BPPV and hypotension are related to service or his service-connected PTSD.
