Granted
The Board granted service connection for central sleep apnea, finding that the condition began during the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence weighed in favor of a diagnosis of central sleep apnea during active service, and the VA examiner was unaware of this private polysomnography study which confirmed the diagnosis.
