Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of a 30 percent evaluation for the right shoulder condition, effective August 8, 2024, and remanded the sleep apnea claim.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a material improvement in the Veteran's service-connected right shoulder condition that was reasonably certain to be maintained under ordinary conditions of life.
