The Board granted service connection for colitis and left shoulder disability, while denying service connection for sleep apnea and right shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a grant of service connection for colitis due to a favorable finding by the AOJ. The evidence did not support a grant of service connection for sleep apnea or right shoulder disability, but did support a grant of service connection for left shoulder disability based on aggravation during service.
