Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on evidence of symptoms beginning during military service and a medical opinion linking the condition to his 39-year military flying career.
The deciding factor: The reasonable doubt regarding the origin and cause of the Veteran's OSA will be resolved in his favor due to credible lay statements and a persuasive medical opinion.
