Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea and asbestosis, but denied service connection for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence established that the Veteran's sleep apnea was caused by his service-connected psychiatric disorder, while asbestosis was causally related to in-service asbestos exposure. Hypertension was not shown to be related to any aspect of military service.
