Partly granted
The Board granted the appeal regarding the improper reduction of the evaluation of bronchiectasis from 30 percent to 10 percent and remanded claims for service connection for depression, sleep apnea, and the propriety of severance of PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's bronchiectasis did not improve as evidenced by medical records and examination results, thus the reduction was improper. The other claims were remanded due to missing service treatment records (STRs) and DD-214.
