Partly granted
The Board denied the veteran's claim for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) but remanded the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements about his work history and education were found to be inconsistent, which undermined his TDIU claim.
