Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected sinusitis, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board gave greater probative weight to a private medical opinion that linked the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea to his chronic sinusitis, finding it at least as likely as not that the OSA developed due to the service-connected condition.
