Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder, bilateral pes planus, and residual fracture, left ankle strain.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran and found that his OSA disability is proximately due to his service-connected PTSD, bilateral pes planus, and/or residual fracture, left ankle strain.
