Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected Gastroesophageal reflux disease and adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by J.R., NP-C, supported that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is at least as likely as not due to or aggravated by her service-connected conditions.
