Partly granted
The Board granted readjudication of entitlement to service connection for ischemic heart disease (IHD) and remanded the claims for service connection for a heart condition and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence was found since the prior final denial, specifically related to TERA exposure during service, which necessitated readjudication of IHD. The other claims were remanded due to an inadequate VA examination regarding secondary service connection as it pertains to aggravation.
