Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving all doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that his OSA is related to his obesity during service.
The deciding factor: The weight of the competent evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's in-service obesity and his current diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.
