Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities and pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB).
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports that the Veteran's OSA is caused by and/or aggravated by his service-connected disabilities, and that the Veteran's PFB had onset in service and has continued since service.
