Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder but dismissed the appeal for entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea due to a withdrawal of the appeal by the Veteran's attorney.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the sufficiency of evidence supporting the direct service connection theory and the withdrawal of the appeal for obstructive sleep apnea.
