Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea as secondary to diabetes was granted. The effective date for coronary artery disease was set to December 1, 2021. Other issues were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is secondary to his service-connected diabetes mellitus type II and that the criteria for an effective date of December 1, 2021, for coronary artery disease have been met.
