Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding it to be proximately due to or the result of a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the private physician's opinion that the Veteran's weight gain/obesity, which is consequentially related to his service-connected disabilities, caused his OSA.
