Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it was aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence is approximately balanced as to whether the Veteran's OSA is aggravated beyond its natural progression by service-connected PTSD. Resolving doubt in favor of the Veteran, the Board finds that service connection for OSA is warranted.
