Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a chronic left knee disorder and remanded the claims for sleep apnea and an acquired psychiatric disorder to include posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left knee disorder was found to have had its initial onset during active military service, meeting the criteria for direct service connection. The other issues were remanded due to a need for additional development of evidence.
