Partly granted
Service connection for obstructive sleep apnea is granted. The appeals for disability evaluations for lumbosacral strain and left lower radiculopathy are dismissed.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea had its onset in service, leading to a grant of service connection.
