Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and remanded claims for a right hip disability and left hip disability due to the Veteran not being properly notified of scheduled VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively weigh in favor of a finding that the Veteran's OSA was related to his active service, including conceded participation in TERAs. The October 2023 VA examiner opined that there is no association between OSA and the Veteran's participation in TERAs.
