Partly granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection for tinnitus and hearing loss were denied due to untimely filing. Service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to chronic sinusitis was granted. Claims for GERD and an acquired psychiatric disorder were denied due to lack of new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the timeliness of filings and the presence or absence of new and relevant evidence.
