Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea based on a causal link between the current disability and an in-service traumatic event.
The deciding factor: A causal link (nexus) between the current disability and the in-service injury is established based on the Veteran's competent and credible testimony and the lack of significant probative value in the negative VA opinion due to its inaccurate factual premise.
