Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's OSA began during his active service and continued thereafter.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 medical opinion concluded that it was likely that the Veteran's OSA was directly related to his service, as he had moderate OSA which has most likely been present for years before diagnosis.
