The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea and an initial rating of 70 percent for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, but denied service connection for tremors.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sleep apnea was found to be related to service, while the evidence did not support a finding that his tremors were related to service. The 70 percent rating for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder was granted due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
