Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on the Veteran's exposure to in-service chemical agents.
The deciding factor: The positive medical opinion and the relatively short period of time between the Veteran's confirmed diagnosis and separation from service supported the grant of service connection.
