Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea on a direct basis and remanded the claims for secondary service connection and cervical spine conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea had its onset during service or was related to any incident of service, while the cervical spine condition required further development including an additional medical opinion and obtaining relevant records.
