Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the right wrist, denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss, and granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence was insufficient to show that the Veteran's symptoms warranted a higher rating or that his obstructive sleep apnea was related to active duty service.
