Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea as it was found to be caused by the Veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder, tinnitus, and GERD.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided significant probative value due to its support by evidence of record and sound medical rationale, establishing a link between the Veteran's sleep apnea and his service-connected disabilities.
