Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's symptoms had an onset during his period of service and were related to weight gain and obesity.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible reports of in-service onset of symptoms and documentation of overweight/obesity during service, granting service connection based on a direct link between the condition and service.
