Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's OSA had its onset during active service at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The lay statements from the Veteran's sister and wife were found to be credible and highly probative, indicating that the Veteran's sleep problems began during service and have been recurrent since discharge.
