Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, finding that it is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's sleep apnea was more likely than not caused by his service-connected disabilities, including major depressive disorder, through weight gain as an intermediate step.
