Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's OSA is secondary to his service-connected adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, so reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
