Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of September 4, 2019, for the grant of service connection for sleep apnea due to continuous pursuit of the claim during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's request for a good cause extension due to the COVID-19 pandemic was granted, and he has continuously pursued his initial claim for service connection for sleep apnea.
