Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for GERD, to include as secondary to service-connected sarcoidosis, and denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and pseudofolliculitis barbae.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GERD is at least as likely as not secondary to his service-connected sarcoidosis; however, the evidence does not support a finding that his obstructive sleep apnea or pseudofolliculitis barbae are related to his military service.
