Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected major depressive disorder and migraine headache disabilities, with obesity as an intermediate step.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence persuasively favored finding that the Veteran's OSA was at least as likely as not due to or the result of his service-connected MDD and migraine headache disabilities, with obesity as an intermediate step.
