Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for obstructive sleep apnea and remanded the claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus type II.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's OSA does not meet the criteria for a higher rating, and there is no evidence to support service connection for DM-II through any of his service-connected disabilities.
