Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected major depressive disorder and/or tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea was caused or aggravated by his service-connected conditions, and resolving any doubt in favor of the Veteran, service connection is warranted.
