Partly granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection for sleep apnea and bilateral foot disability were granted, but the claim for an increased rating for tinnitus was denied. The claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability was also granted.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on new evidence received since the July 2016 rating decision that is relevant to the Veteran's claims.
