Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of sleep apnea was denied. The claim for a higher rating for hypothyroidism was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence linking the veteran's sleep apnea to Agent Orange exposure or other service-connected conditions, but remanded the hypothyroidism rating due to inadequate examination.
