Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for tinnitus and hypertension, but remanded the claim for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's hypertension was caused by his active service. The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran for both conditions.
