Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because the evidence showed that the condition began during active duty service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lay statements about snoring and shortness of breath during service were found credible, and the evidence was in approximate balance regarding the onset of OSA during service.
