Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension but denied service connection for tinnitus and sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of tinnitus or a link between sleep apnea and military service, while there was sufficient evidence to establish that hypertension began during active duty and continued thereafter.
