Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for upper airway resistance syndrome, secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities. The claim for obstructive sleep apnea was reopened and readjudicated but ultimately denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's obesity, caused by his service-connected conditions, led to symptoms of a sleep disorder, including hypersomnia and daytime fatigue.
