Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, attributing the disability to asbestos exposure during military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record was in relative equipoise, and resolving all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, the Board found that his sleep apnea is etiologically related to his in-service asbestos exposure.
