Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving all reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that his OSA had its onset during active duty.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including credible lay statements from the Veteran, his daughter, and wife, established the onset of symptoms during service, despite a negative TERA nexus opinion.
