Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that his sleep apnea had its onset during service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's sleep apnea and his military service based on lay statements and medical records.
