Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it was aggravated by a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions provided evidence that the Veteran's weight gain and resultant obesity were due to his service-connected disabilities, which in turn caused or aggravated his OSA.
