Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's OSA was at least as likely as not incurred in service.
The deciding factor: The Board found a nexus between the Veteran's in-service symptoms and his current obstructive sleep apnea based on the Veteran's competent lay statements and evidence of weight issues during service.
