Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea was granted and will be readjudicated. Claims for hypercholesterolemia were denied, while claims for hypertension and chronic pain in the left hip were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found new and relevant evidence for sleep apnea, but inadequate opinions for hypertension and chronic pain.
