Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it is caused or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions provided evidence linking the Veteran's weight gain and obesity to his service-connected disabilities, which in turn contributed to the development of obstructive sleep apnea.
