Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding it to be proximately due to or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), right knee patellofemoral syndrome, and bilateral plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence in favor of the claim includes a private medical opinion from M.B. that concluded OSA is secondary to or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, which was credited by the Board.
