Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the basis of aggravation.
The deciding factor: The greater weight of the most probative evidence supports a finding that the Veteran's OSA is aggravated by his PTSD, but not caused by it.
