Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, secondary to the service-connected unspecified anxiety disorder and right shoulder strain.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports a finding that the Veteran's sleep apnea is related to his service-connected anxiety and right shoulder strain with subsequent sleep disturbance and weight gain.
