Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on evidence showing that the condition likely began during active duty and was diagnosed within a year of discharge.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's sleep apnea is at least as likely as not related to her active military service due to reported symptoms and diagnosis shortly after discharge, despite a negative VA opinion.
