Partly grantedPACT Act
Service connection for tinnitus is denied. The claim for service connection for sleep apnea is remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was persuasively against finding a relationship between the Veteran's tinnitus and his active-duty service, but remanded the sleep apnea claim due to inadequate medical opinions.
