Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities. The claims for a heart disorder and prostate cancer were remanded.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence was equally balanced, supporting a grant of service connection for OSA due to its relationship with the Veteran's service-connected lumbar spine disability. The other claims required further development.
