Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of December 28, 2021, for the award of service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but no earlier.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had a claim of service connection for OSA that remained pending and entitlement arose prior to February 10, 2023, based on evidence showing symptoms before the sleep study confirmed the diagnosis.
