Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 private opinion from Dr. Z.M. provided a rationale connecting the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea to his service-connected disabilities through obesity, which was found probative by the Board.
