Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, based on a finding that his weight gain caused by those disabilities led to OSA.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities caused weight gain, which in turn led to the development of OSA.
