Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's obesity, which was an intermediate step between his service-connected bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy and OSA, caused the current disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to the question of nexus, and the Board resolves all doubt in the Veteran's favor.
