Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for medial epicondylitis of the left elbow and sleep apnea, but granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder as secondary to a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively establish a nexus between the Veteran's current disabilities and his active military service. However, there was sufficient evidence indicating that the Veteran's psychiatric condition is caused or aggravated by a service-connected disability.
