Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and obstructive sleep apnea, finding that both conditions are etiologically related to the Veteran's active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a nexus between the Veteran's current psychiatric disabilities and his active-duty service, including reports of in-service stressors and consistent treatment records connecting these symptoms to military experiences.
