Granted
The Board granted service connection for sinusitis and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), secondary to obesity caused by service-connected disabilities, based on new evidence received after the previous denial.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's sinusitis is related to service and whether his OSA is due to obesity caused by service-connected disabilities.
