Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, to include as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: There is an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence as to whether the Veteran's current obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is secondary to his service-connected disabilities, and resolving any reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, the criteria for service connection have been met.
