Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for anxiety disorder and dismissed the appeals for asthma, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and herniated lumbar intervertebral disc.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's anxiety disorder is related to service due to loud gunfire during training exercises. The other claims were dismissed as they were not properly appealed within the one-year period or were deferred decisions that do not constitute final determinations.
