Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, the Board found that his current OSA is proximately due to or otherwise related to his service-connected PTSD.
