Partly granted
Service connection for the veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder was granted. The request for a higher disability rating for sleep apnea and total disability rating based on individual unemployability were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder was aggravated by his service-connected disabilities, but the symptoms of sleep apnea did not warrant a higher rating.
