Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, finding it to be caused by the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided substantial probative weight as it explained its rationale in the context of the evidence of record, and the Board found the evidence to be approximately balanced with or nearly equal.
