Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding it at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The positive physician's opinion, supported by the Veteran's wife's testimony of excessive snoring during service, was given significant probative value.
