Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as it was caused by the Veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder. The other claims for type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and irritable bowel syndrome were remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: Service connection on a secondary basis is warranted due to the causal link between the Veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder and his OSA.
