Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to a service-connected disability, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced and the Board resolved reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on medical opinions linking OSA to service-connected conditions.
