Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been granted. The Board found that the OSA was proximately due to the Veteran's service-connected plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved any reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, concluding that the evidence supported a secondary service connection between the OSA and the service-connected plantar fasciitis.
