Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been granted. The Board found that the OSA is but-for due to his service-connected disabilities, with obesity as an intermediate step.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed a medical nexus between the Veteran's current diagnosis of OSA and his service-connected disabilities, with obesity as an intermediate step.
