Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea based on the Veteran's lay statements and a positive nexus opinion from an August 2024 VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current OSA disability is related to his active-duty service due to chronicity and a positive nexus opinion, despite no in-service diagnosis or treatment records.
