Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea, both secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disability with obesity as an intermediate step. The claim for a right ankle disability was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance on the issues of service connection for hypertension and OSA, but not for the right ankle strain.
