Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected respiratory conditions disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance that the Veteran's sleep apnea is due to his service-connected respiratory conditions disability, and the Board afforded the Veteran the benefit of the doubt.
