Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding it to be secondary to the Veteran's service-connected insomnia disorder.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions provided by the physicians were found to be credible and supported the conclusion that the Veteran's sleep apnea is at least as likely as not secondary to his service-connected insomnia.
