Granted
The Board granted entitlement to secondary service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding a nexus between the condition and the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record is at least in approximate balance that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is proximately due to or aggravated by his service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder, and therefore, the Board resolved the benefit of the doubt in favor of the Veteran.
