Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a February 2025 VA medical opinion that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is at least as likely as not due to his service-connected allergic rhinitis, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
