Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for acquired psychiatric disability and tinnitus, but remanded the claim for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to a need for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a finding of current disabilities, in-service occurrences, and a nexus between the Veteran's disabilities and his active duty service. However, there is uncertainty regarding the Veteran's tinnitus as no VA examination was conducted specifically for this condition.
