Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, secondary to the Veteran's service-connected coronary artery disease (CAD), on a causation basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's sleep apnea was caused in part by his service-connected CAD, and reasonable doubt must be resolved in favor of the Veteran.
