Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected asthma.
The deciding factor: The private pulmonologist opinion provided a persuasive rationale that the Veteran's sleep apnea is likely due to or related to his service-connected asthma, and there was no probative evidence to the contrary.
