Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's unspecified anxiety disorder based on a positive private medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The evidence, particularly the October 2022 private medical opinion, supports that the Veteran's OSA is caused by his service-connected unspecified anxiety disorder.
