Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that it began during active service.
The deciding factor: The private medical nexus opinion by Dr. D.B., MD, reconciled the Veteran's assertions with the rest of the record better than any other nexus opinion, leading to a direct basis for granting service connection.
