Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, to include as secondary to service-connected PTSD with obesity as an intermediary step.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise that the Veteran's obesity is due to his service-connected disability and has led to his current obstructive sleep apnea.
