Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it was proximately caused by the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with generalized anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The private opinion submitted by the Veteran in September 2022 provided clear and well-reasoned explanations connecting his current sleep apnea to his service-connected PTSD.
