Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and special monthly compensation (SMC) under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s).
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's credible lay statements regarding onset during service, and the combined ratings of his service-connected disabilities met the criteria for SMC.
