Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least approximately balanced regarding whether the Veteran's OSA is secondary to his service-connected PTSD, and the Board found in favor of the claim.
