Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding a relationship to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The positive nexus opinion from the Veteran's treating physician at Northside Family Practice provided a clear link between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and his service, specifically noting that it is more likely than not secondary to his service in the U.S. Air Force.
