Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for major depressive disorder and remanded claims for service connection for hyperlipidemia, stroke, headaches, and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance on whether the Veteran's major depressive disorder is related to service. The Board finds that there is medical evidence indicating both a relationship and no relationship between the Veteran's depression and his military service.
