Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for pseudo folliculitis barbae and denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claim for pseudo folliculitis barbae, but not for obstructive sleep apnea due to a lack of in-service symptoms and no persuasive medical evidence linking the current condition to military service.
