Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea with hypersomnolence disorder, finding that the evidence was at least in balance as to whether the condition began during active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found a nexus between the Veteran's current disability and his military service based on consistent lay statements regarding symptoms, onset, and continuity of symptoms, and medical opinions supporting this connection.
