Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea, secondary to PTSD, is granted. The Board found that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea was proximately due to or aggravated by his service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence placed a reasonable fact finder in a state of equipoise, and thus the tie must go to the Veteran.
