Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's OSA is secondary to his service-connected PTSD, and the Board afforded the benefit of the doubt to the Veteran.
