Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the evidence is in approximate balance as to whether it was aggravated by the service-connected deviated nasal septum.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of contrary medical evidence and the fact that the evidence is in approximate balance regarding aggravation of OSA by the deviated nasal septum.
