Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and remanded the claims for left lower extremity varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis residuals due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively weigh in favor of finding that the Veteran had sleep apnea during or approximate to the pendency of the claim, while the claims for left lower extremity varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis residuals required further development due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
