Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, to include as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected rhinitis. The appeal was remanded for further development regarding a bilateral foot condition.
The deciding factor: Service connection for sleep apnea was granted due to aggravation by symptoms of the Veteran's service-connected rhinitis.
