Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for the Veteran's right thigh impairment beginning August 8, 2023, but denied service connection for cervical strain, obstructive sleep apnea due to obesity, and other conditions.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting the existence of sleep apnea and the limited extent of the Veteran's right thigh impairment.
