Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea has been granted. The Board found that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is proximately due to his service-connected orthopedic and radiculopathy disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current obstructive sleep apnea is proximately due to the service-connected orthopedic and radiculopathy disabilities, so the Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
