Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder and left leg disabilities, with obesity as an intermediate step.
The deciding factor: The private evaluation findings and conclusions show that the Veteran's current OSA disability is at least as likely as not due to the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder and left leg disabilities with obesity as an intermediate step.
