Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea (OSA) based on the Veteran's credible and competent lay statements describing symptoms beginning in service which have continued until the date of claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found the medical examinations inadequate due to failure to consider the Veteran's lay evidence, and granted service connection by affording the Veteran the benefit of the doubt.
