Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it was caused and worsened by the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The private examiner opined that the Veteran's OSA was more likely than not aggravated by his service-connected PTSD due to neurobiological alterations and medication side effects.
