Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) secondary to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), finding that the Veteran's PTSD aggravated his OSA.
The deciding factor: The Board found that it was at least as likely as not that the Veteran's OSA was aggravated by his PTSD, based on medical opinions from treating physicians and a physician board-certified in sleep medicine.
