Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for hypertension was denied. The claim for sleep apnea was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence linking the Veteran's hypertension to active duty service, but remanded the sleep apnea claim due to a duty-to-assist error.
