Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and a 30 percent rating for GERD, effective from December 22, 2021. The Veteran's effective date for the grant of service connection for GERD was also granted as February 9, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is due to his service-connected PTSD and that his GERD symptoms are severe enough to warrant a 30 percent rating.
