Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the service-connected unspecified depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record supports a finding that the Veteran's sleep apnea is related to his service-connected unspecified depressive disorder, and the evidence is in equipoise regarding this relationship.
