Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's condition had an onset during active duty and persisted since then.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and his period of active service, as it was first diagnosed during service and has continued post-service with ongoing treatment.
