Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for asthma, denied service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, bilateral hands neuropathy, and sleep apnea, and remanded the claims for anxiety and depression.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record, including medical examinations and lay statements, but further examination is needed for the psychiatric conditions due to a lack of current diagnosis and evidence linking them to service.
