Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to an acquired psychiatric disorder and remanded the claim for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence supports that OSA is at least as likely as not caused by the Veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder, while GERD requires further development of the record.
