Granted
The Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is granted service connection, and a TDIU from May 1, 2010 to May 2, 2018, as well as special monthly compensation from the same date are also granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's OSA had onset in service. Given the Veteran's consistent and credible lay statements regarding his sleep issues beginning during his active duty period, service connection for OSA is warranted.
