Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: Given the medical opinion that the Veteran's PTSD is more likely than not a cause of his OSA, and resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, the Board found there was at least an approximate balance for and against secondary service connection.
