Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that his OSA began during active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's lay statements credible and sufficient to create a reasonable doubt as to whether his current OSA arose in service, warranting the grant of service connection.
