Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome, thoracolumbar strain, and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in at least approximate equipoise that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is caused or aggravated by his service-connected conditions.
