Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding it to be related to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established based on a positive medical opinion indicating that OSA is at least as likely as not secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
