Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it was aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions provided greater probative value and supported the theory of secondary aggravation between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and his service-connected insomnia and/or tinnitus.
