Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: Given the positive and negative opinions of record, the evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's OSA is related to her service-connected PTSD. Thus, with reasonable doubt resolved in the Veteran's favor, service connection for OSA secondary to the service-connected PTSD is warranted.
