Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and right middle finger strain with degenerative arthritis. The claim for tuberculosis was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighed in favor of a finding that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea, GERD, and right middle finger strain with degenerative arthritis are etiologically related to service, while there is no current diagnosis of tuberculosis.
