Partly granted
The veteran's PTSD service connection is granted with an effective date of January 4, 2023. The claim for sleep apnea is denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran preserved the effective date by filing a complete application within one year of the intent to file; no current diagnosis of sleep apnea was found.
