Partly granted
The veteran's claim for PTSD was dismissed because it had already been granted. Claims for OSA, left foot condition, and right foot condition were denied due to lack of evidence. The claim for tinnitus was remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The decision on PTSD was based on the fact that service connection had already been granted and no appeal was made regarding the rating or effective date.
