Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, finding that the evidence supports a link between the Veteran's condition and his active military service.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by a sleep medicine specialist was deemed more probative than the VA medical opinion, as it considered the Veteran's lay statements and the relevant evidence.
