Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's condition had its onset in service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran engaged in combat and his lay statements, along with other evidence, provided a sufficient basis to conclude that his sleep apnea is related to service.
