Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left shoulder disability but denied service connection for shin splints, sinusitis, and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claim for a left shoulder disability due to an in-service fall, while other conditions were not shown to be related to service or diagnosed during the appeal period.
