Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral tinnitus, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The appeal regarding obstructive sleep apnea was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: Service connection for bilateral tinnitus was granted due to a favorable finding that it is etiologically related to service, while the appeal for obstructive sleep apnea was remanded due to an incomplete pre-decisional duty to assist error.
