Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence indicating the condition is related to a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The private examiner's opinion that OSA was likely caused by obesity related to deconditioning from orthopedic disabilities provided sufficient probative value to grant the claim.
