Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for low back pain and pes planus, bilateral, but remanded the claim for sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's low back pain and pes planus, bilateral were related to his military service, while the evidence was not sufficient to establish a direct link between his sleep apnea and service.
