Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and denied the claims for an increased compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and service connection for a right hip disorder.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for obstructive sleep apnea based on credible testimony of in-service symptoms, while the claim for a right hip disorder was denied due to lack of evidence showing chronicity or continuity of symptomatology during service and no link to service-connected disabilities.
