Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a deviated septum and right wrist pain, while denying service connection for sleep apnea. The decision also addressed various rating issues and effective dates.
The deciding factor: The granting of service connection for the deviated septum was based on evidence showing an in-service onset and current disability. For the right wrist pain, the Board found that the Veteran's pain met the criteria for a disability as it caused functional impairment.
