Granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea was granted, with the effective date set to February 1, 2004.
The deciding factor: The Board found that additional service treatment records received in June 2022 warranted reconsideration of the February 2004 claim.
