Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that his condition is etiologically related to service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on competent lay evidence of stress and sleep disruption during service, as well as medical opinions attributing weight gain and OSA to a service-connected psychiatric disability.
