Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The appeal seeking service connection for bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed a current diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea with onset during service and continuous symptoms since separation, leading to a grant on direct service connection grounds.
