Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, secondary to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), based on the evidence being in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's OSA was aggravated by his service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Board found that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's OSA was aggravated by his service-connected PTSD, and granted service connection accordingly.
