Granted
The Board grants service connection for sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, finding that the evidence is at least in relative equipoise.
The deciding factor: The private clinician's opinion was found more probative than the VA opinions due to its detailed analysis and consideration of the Veteran's specific medical history.
