Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea, finding that the evidence is at least in approximate balance that it is related to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found persuasive opinions from a private physician and a VA examiner indicating that the Veteran's sleep apnea was aggravated by his service-connected conditions, applying the benefit of the doubt where necessary.
