Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for recurrent pneumonia and remanded the claim for obstructive sleep apnea due to potential exposure to toxins.
The deciding factor: Service connection was not granted because there is no current diagnosis of recurrent pneumonia, while further evidence is needed regarding the possible link between obstructive sleep apnea and in-service toxic exposures.
