Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of June 15, 2019, for the award of service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and remanded the issue of entitlement to an initial rating greater than 30 percent for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for sleep disturbances filed on June 1, 2020, encompassed a claim for sleep apnea, which was submitted within one year of his separation from service. Therefore, the effective date is granted as of June 15, 2019.
