Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it is due to the Veteran's service-connected traumatic brain injury.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence was in approximate balance and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran, given his complaints of sleep problems during active service and the advice from the TBI clinic for a sleep study which was not conducted.
