Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided a detailed rationale supporting a causal relationship between the Veteran's OSA and his PTSD, which was found to be at least as likely as not.
