Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), finding that it was caused by the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise regarding whether the Veteran's OSA was caused by his service-connected PTSD, and the Board will give the benefit of the doubt to the claimant.
