Dismissed
The appeal for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea was dismissed because the VA already granted benefits for this condition. The veteran can still request a review if they disagree with the rating or effective date.
The deciding factor: The Board dismissed the appeal as moot because the benefits sought on appeal had been granted in full prior to the decision.
