Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it began during military service and has continued since.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise that the Veteran's OSA had its onset during service, as supported by lay statements of record attesting to sleep difficulties during active service and STRs indicating symptom onset in service.
