Granted
The Board granted service connection for epilepsy, unspecified, diabetes mellitus, type II (diabetes), tinnitus, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The petition to readjudicate the claims for obstructive sleep apnea and a right shoulder condition based on new evidence was also granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's conditions were related to service as indicated by medical examinations and records. New and relevant evidence supported the readjudication of the obstructive sleep apnea and right shoulder condition claims.
