Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's sleep apnea, finding it secondary to his service-connected atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current sleep apnea is due to his service-connected atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
