Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding the evidence to be in approximate balance as to whether it was caused or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with insomnia disorder and alcohol use disorder.
The deciding factor: The existing positive and negative evidence regarding the relationship between the Veteran's OSA and his service-connected conditions is in an approximate balance, and the Board resolved any remaining doubt in favor of the Veteran.
