Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee degenerative joint disease status post left knee injury, sprain and remanded claims for shoulder disability and OSA.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's reported symptoms and continuity of symptomatology since service. The other claims were denied due to a lack of evidence supporting a link between the claimed conditions and service or another service-connected condition.
