Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD and denied service connection for a respiratory condition, to include chronic pneumonia. The OSA claim was remanded.
The deciding factor: PTSD was supported by credible evidence of in-service stressors; the respiratory condition lacked sufficient medical evidence of a current diagnosis during or near the appeal period.
