Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's condition had its onset during his active service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on credible reports of symptoms since service, documented history of seeking treatment shortly after service, and a detailed opinion from Dr. D.H. indicating it is at least as likely as not that sleep apnea had its onset during the Veteran's active service.
