Partly granted
The appeal for entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea was granted, while other appeals were dismissed as untimely and remanded for further action on essential tremors.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and his service-connected PTSD. Other claims were dismissed due to untimeliness or lack of good cause for an extension, while the essential tremors claim was remanded for further medical evaluation.
