Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left wrist disability and sleep apnea, as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with obesity as an intermediate step.
The deciding factor: The evidence received since the July 2016 rating decision is new and relevant, and it establishes that the Veteran's left wrist disability and sleep apnea are related to his military service.
