Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, with obesity as an intermediary step.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively supports that the Veteran's OSA is etiologically related to his service-connected disabilities through obesity as an intermediary step.
