Partly granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates of August 30, 2016 for service connection for urticaria and left eye disability, denied a compensable rating for the left eye disability, and granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to PTSD.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's claims filed in August 30, 2016, which were found to be the most recent unadjudicated pending claim for these conditions.
