Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea on a secondary basis to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's sleep apnea was caused by his service-connected PTSD, as indicated in the private opinion from Dr. D.A., which provided adequate rationale linking the two conditions.
