Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's service-connected bronchiectasis has contributed to the current severity of obstructive sleep apnea. The claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) prior to August 10, 2022, was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected bronchiectasis has contributed to the current severity of obstructive sleep apnea, and granted service connection based on this secondary theory.
