Granted
The Board grants service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as it is proximately due to the Veteran's service-connected unspecified depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by a provider indicated that the Veteran's OSA was at least as likely as not secondary to his service-connected unspecified depressive disorder, and this opinion was given probative weight by the Board.
