Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran had symptoms of sleep apnea during his active duty and those symptoms continued to the present.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's spouse's statement credible and Dr. AOO's medical opinions adequate in linking the in-service symptoms to the current diagnosis of sleep apnea.
