Granted
The Board granted service connection for pulmonary nodule of the lungs and obstructive sleep apnea, finding that both conditions are related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence supports a nexus between the Veteran's in-service respiratory issues (pneumonia and bronchitis) and her current pulmonary nodules. For OSA, the Board found that the Veteran's service-connected musculoskeletal disabilities likely aggravated her sleep apnea symptoms.
