Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea secondary to PTSD was granted. The Board found that the veteran's current obstructive sleep apnea is due to, caused by, or aggravated by the service-connected PTSD personal trauma.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding it at least as likely as not that the Veteran's current obstructive sleep apnea is due to, caused by, or the result of, or aggravated by the service-connected PTSD personal trauma.
