Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea, secondary to PTSD, is granted. The Board found that the veteran's current sleep apnea disability is related to his service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence leans in favor of finding that the Veteran's sleep apnea is a secondary consequence to his service-connected PTSD.
