Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disability secondary to their service-connected sleep apnea has been granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's depression, which is resultant of diagnosed insomnia, is at least as likely as not secondary to the service-connected sleep apnea disability.
