Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left hip labral tears with associated cam deformity of the anterior femoral head / neck junction, hypertension, but denied service connection for sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's current disabilities and his active military service, except for sleep apnea which was not linked to service by credible medical evidence.
