Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether it is due to conceded in-service toxic exposures.
The deciding factor: The private provider's opinion was highly probative and persuasive, explaining how the Veteran's obesity, which began during service, contributed to his obstructive sleep apnea.
