Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to depression and a transient ischemic attack, and hypertension as secondary to obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on uncontradicted medical opinions that the Veteran's OSA is due to his service-connected conditions and that his hypertension has been aggravated by OSA.
