Partly granted
The Board granted the application to readjudicate the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea based on new and relevant evidence, but remanded the issue for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the receipt of new and relevant evidence that raised a theory of entitlement not previously addressed, specifically whether obesity serves as an intermediate step between the Veteran's service-connected psychiatric disorder and OSA.
