Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's sleep apnea had its onset during his active service and continued since.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a nexus between the Veteran's sleep apnea and his service, despite negative opinions from VA examiners, due to credible lay statements and a private medical opinion.
