Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected stroke residuals based on a March 2024 VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record demonstrates that the Veteran has sleep apnea related to his service-connected stroke residuals, and the March 2024 VA medical opinion supports this relationship.
