Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding it to be secondary to the Veteran's service-connected allergic/nonallergic rhinitis with maxillary polyps.
The deciding factor: The positive physician's opinion provided significant probative value as it was well reasoned, detailed, consistent with other evidence of record, and considered the history and nature of the Veteran's service and the claimed disability.
