Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The private opinion submitted by the Veteran was based on a review of his medical and service records, credible lay statements, and medical research supporting that OSA is a progressive disease starting with snoring years before diagnosis.
