Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's unspecified anxiety and depression disorder but granted service connection for sleep apnea, which is related to his service-connected sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found a link between the Veteran's sleep apnea and his service-connected sinusitis, while there was no persuasive evidence that the Veteran's anxiety and depression disorder began during active service or is otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
