Partly granted
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as moot, denied a disability rating greater than 10 percent for amputation of the distal phalanx of the right great toe at DIP joint, and remanded the issue of service connection for third right toe disability as secondary to the service-connected disability of amputation, distal phalanx, right great toe at DIP joint.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's already granted service connection for OSA and the lack of evidence supporting a higher rating or additional service connection for the third right toe.
