Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for panic disorder, OSA, and hypertension as secondary to a service-connected condition. The claim for diabetes mellitus was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the nexus between the Veteran's active service and his current psychiatric disorders and sleep apnea, but not for diabetes mellitus or hypertension directly related to service.
