Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on the Veteran's reported symptoms during and after active duty, as well as lay statements from a fellow soldier.
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, the Board found that his OSA first manifested during active duty service and was incurred therein.
