Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, respiratory disorder, hypertension, heart disorder, and diabetes mellitus were granted. The claim for an increased rating for major depressive disorder was denied, and the claim for total disability rating due to individual unemployability was remanded.
