Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea on a secondary basis, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's sleep apnea is related to his service-connected hypertension, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and sinusitis disabilities.
