Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a left knee condition, and a right knee condition. The claim for a left shoulder disability was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's OSA is secondary to his service-connected chronic lumbar strain, sciatic radiculopathy, and bilateral lower extremity sciatic radiculopathy. The left knee and right knee conditions are directly related to active duty service.
