Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, attributing it to weight gain associated with the Veteran's service-connected anxiety disorder and bilateral knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's OSA is due to weight gain attributed to his service-connected psychiatric condition and bilateral knee disability, granting service connection on a secondary basis.
