Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD based on medical opinions that found a causal relationship between the two conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's sleep apnea was aggravated by his service-connected PTSD, and both private and VA medical opinions were considered probative in this determination.
