Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea (OSA) based on the evidence demonstrating that the Veteran's OSA was incurred in service and has been continuous since that time.
The deciding factor: The Board found more probative value in the April 2013 STR, lay statements of record, May 17, 2013 sleep study, and documented continuity of symptomatology to support a direct link between the Veteran's OSA and his active service.
