Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, left knee disability, and right knee disability based on new evidence.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted due to a causal relationship between the Veteran's OSA and his service-connected low back and right shoulder disabilities, as well as a link between the Veteran's bilateral knee disabilities and injuries sustained during active duty.
