Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for folliculitis was denied, but the claim for service connection for sleep apnea was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision on folliculitis was based on the lack of evidence meeting the criteria for a compensable rating; the remand for sleep apnea was due to the need for additional diagnostic testing and clarification on the etiology of the condition.
