Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder with traumatic brain injury.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a medical nexus between the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with TBI and his current OSA, establishing that the TBI was a but-for cause of the OSA.
