Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was granted because it is aggravated by the service-connected deviated nasal septum.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in equipoise regarding whether the OSA is aggravated by the deviated nasal septum, and thus resolved doubt in favor of the Veteran.
