Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea but dismissed the claim for a low back disability due to an earlier grant of benefits.
The deciding factor: Service connection for sleep apnea was granted based on evidence showing its onset during service, while the low back disability claim was dismissed as it had already been granted by the VA AOJ.
