Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and gastroesophageal reflux disease, but remanded the claims for diabetes mellitus type 2 and left lower extremity diabetic neuropathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a link between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and his service-connected PTSD, as well as a direct connection to his military service for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
